Which Way do you spin? Do you slide off to the front or the back when it fails? Do you land at an awkward angle?

Assuming you spin left and slide right foot forward, the problem is that your no used to sliding un-natural, especially after a spin. It just takes time to get used to, keep practicing and you'll get used to it. Also, work on sliding rails left foot forward and it will make it easier.

make sure that you are comfortable with grinding both directions(left and right)

then make sure you can spin 270 your strong direction

at first dont try and spin unnatural onto the rail so you can grind regular

it just takes practice

Spin low and fast so you have the least impact on the rail
