how do you do a ride-on rainbow. theres no jump at all onto it. i tried jumping onto it anyways, but i just bonked off it. should i just try and slide into it, already in 90 posistion?

yeah. pretty much. do that or if there's a bit of a jump you can charge the rail hard and gap it up to the top.

ya theres no jump. the rail goes into the snow, on the flat. but it's not a steep rainbow, so its easy to ride on for boarders. it's basically ment for boarders i guess. so i should try the turn onto, bending the knees.

Just slide on to it; come in fast and start sliding a few feet before the jump, like you're turning 90 and sliding to a stop. You'll ride right up on it like nothing. I was doing it last night on a buried up-to-flat kinked rail, and it was initially a bit weird, but after you get used to it it's almost easier than jumping onto a rail.
