I am going to start learning how to do rails and boxes and stuff this season. So does anyone have any tips for a beginner learning how to do rails?

i dont know what to tell you but i have a tip.

Rookie mistake to lean to far back, and fall on the rail with your ass. dont go too slow on the rail, it'l turn out bad. dont overshoot too much either, jump 90 degrees (half 180) to the side that you prefer to rail on, and good luck.

start out just doing 5050s (straight slide) so you can get the feel of it to start
once you feel comfortable, go for a ski slide where you turn 90 degrees
the absolute worst thing you can do is just fall over to stop yourself from getting hurt because that's actually what will be the worst. you have to commit. and don't let your legs give out
so many of my friends will do a trick correctly but let their knees buckle instead of fighting their way through it
