if you are falling off the sides: try to land with your boots right above the rail in an athletic stance feet about shoulder with knees bent.

if your feet are sliding out from underneath you and your hip is hitting the rail: widen your stance more lean more towards the front of the rail and stiffen your back leg a little bit

when your first learning just try to come off the rail switch cuz its easier cuz your already spinning that way

Start on a nice easy feature like the searchbar.  Make sure your cursor is paralell to the bar before attemping to type.  from that point work up to more advanced techniques like typing some words that you might be interested in learning more about.  Before long, you'll be pressing the search button and afterbanging like a baller!

when you approach the rail have your knees bent with the rail centered between your feet. pop and turn 90.

start on boxes and then work your way up. And make sure you commit all the way too otherwise you will come off early or will not be balanced. The other advice that everyone is giving is good too
