I learned doble pegs on this rail today. Had learned them on a funbox before an injury. Sadly it feels a little bit short, looks like a rail for skateboarding.
Plus I tried that jump box but can't make it to the landing ramp yet. Wanted to share this with you guys

That’s an awesome first attempt; you’ll have them dialled in no time!
Couple of tips to keep in mind; you might already be doing some of them:
* Try to reduce the overhop; i.e. Hop so that your front peg just rolls on. Your back wheel will always follow too, so don’t stress it getting hung up or anything. It’ll make it feel way smoother, and will stop the jerky slow down when you land
* Make sure you are landing on your pegs, not your dropouts/hubs. You’ll get the feel for the lean you need for that
* Really try to stop the pedal drag on the rail. It’ll be annoying to stop at first, since it’s a crutch for balance when you’re learning, but it will teach you proper rail balance. That will be super helpful when you start start doing kinked and curved rails
* Play around with weight distribution, speed, and different types of rails; e.g. aluminum, steel, waxed, flat round etc. You’ll start to get a sense for the right speed and weight distribution for each type of rail
Super cool to see the progression, congrats!
