more speed. if you are hopping off, it is an issue that speed will aleviate

Just make sure you get over it and know how to balance on round stuff.

just make sure you land on the rail with it right under boot and lock on, they arent that hard

my biggest problem with handrails at first was jumping on from the side and the momentum from that carrying me over the rail and off the other side. try to jump as straight as possible and just place your feet on top.

i find round rails much easier to get onto from the said than stupid flat bars, but any ways here i go.
before you get on the rail, kinda of focus down the rail like what angle it is and such, then right as your getting on focus on where you are going to lock, then look for the end of the rail.
also, make sure you're pretty close to the rail before you get on and parallel.
