if you fall (you probley will) get back up and try again. and most handrails are at a 30* slope so lean forward

just make sure you're gonna have enough speed and commit to it. You'll crash way worse if you're all pussyish and weak in the legs. Just know what you're getting into and when you crash get back up, take a second and go try it again. That is unless you're really hurt bad. We where out doing one and my friend fell and smoked his elbow right on the rail on his way down and bruised the bone on his elbow so he was done

yea speed is key. also, have a drop in aligned parallel with the rail. if you have it pointing in to the rail, then youll be more likely to go over the rail

If your assuming yor going to fall while your building your shit then your gonna fall hard. Dont think about it just do it. Dont waste your time being scared.

Haha, I actually though you might have something helpful to say, you know, because youre an experienced urban jibber and all. But if youre drunk its cool.

Make sure your super confident going onto the rail and make sure you have enought speed to get onto the rail.
once your on it just keep looking at the end of the rail and tryjust do like you'd do on a park rail and try not to land in the stairs if you feel unstable, if one side is grass or something, it's beetter to jump off if you feel uncnifdent once youre on the rail then trying to get your balance after ward and catch an edge and fuck yourself up.
Remm,eber it's preseason, your prolly not as god as you used to be on rails at this time of the year so play it safe.
Way to many talented jibers hurt themselves too early on urban rails.
hope that helps.

commit, commit, commit. if you commit and come off early it's way easier on you then not commiting and eating shit.

maybe don't shovel the stairs for the first time so you have some extra padding if and when you fall

way to take your own advice buddy. seriously though, dont listen to people who say make a really small lip so it looks better. if its your first try, make the lip as big as you feel it needs to be. also, its way easier with speed as long as its just a down rail, so make sure you have a nice dropin.
