Railsliding help

i dont know what the deal is but whenever i attempt a rail 20+ feet long, i always make it halfway and fall backwards so i land on my side on the rail. I've tried putting more weight on my front foot, but then i just slide off the front right away.

Any suggestions??

as soon as you hop onto the rail, lock your eyes onto the end of it and you will slide straighter. I don't know if it will help you, but it works wondors for me.

Try going faster and stay relaxed. And look at the end of the rail the whole time.

yea i think relaxing would be the key. just try to put the same amount of weight on both feet. many people say looking at the end of the rail helps but that confuses me for some reason so I just kinda stare into space.

i find going slower is much easier to complete a rail. i go up off to the side of it more and go slower, and idk but it works really well

Going slower is easier for me on hand rails but that is about it.

go straight at the rail. if you go at it on an angle you will keep sliding that way when you hop on. then once your on, do like they said^^ up there, lock your eyes on the end of the rail.
thats how i learned

the more relaxed you are the better you are and less you get hurt when you fall

dont think about grinding the rail, imagine yourself just leaning down to take a poo, visualise your bathroom and before you know it you will be coming off the rail switch

sliding rails is one of those things where you can get as much help as possible and still fall. just try it over & over till you find what works for you.
