forwards as in you lean your body the direction its facing and off the side of the rail? if that, then you have make sure you get right on top of the rail, unless you hit it from an angle, then kind of ease onto it. and look down the end of the rail when sliding.

on a rail that starts with an up, you have to be dead on top, otherwise youre coming off.
