1.) dont be scared
2.) have some speed (easier to balance)
3.) get on the rail whatever way you spin with your feet shoulder width apart and bend your knees a bit as u land on the rail
4.) once your on watch for the end of the rail

start small, work your way up. chances are you are goin to be be sore.

Look at the end of the raal. don;t lean back. make sure u spin onto it 90 degrees. like turn all the way sideways, land under the boot and slide
