honestly just try to slide a tiny, low flat rail first, it'll help you learn so much better/faster

Wait, i have a real response now.  Try coming off switch.  That has helped people I know with the same problem.  If you can't land switch probably learn tiny 180s first.

Had the same problem.

1) Join the "trick tip forum" cult.
2) Don't puss out. That's all there is to it. No way you have any problem spinning a full 90 degrees, so just sack up and force your brain to commit to turning the whole way.

come up to the rail knees slightly bent weight centered. pop at the lip and turn ur body 90 degrees but keep forward. dont lean back and look at the end of the rail with ur head and ur shoulders a little open. then practice it liek 100 times and ull be a pro at sliding a flat rail or box
