if its a dfd or something, dont go short. it fuckin sucks to go short and just land on the flat. if its a fd or something, its pretty hard to fuck up.

since you are asking how to do it, im gonna guess its not gonna be anything even remotely high consequence. just take it with more speed than normal, pop, and land on the second part of the rail. its not hard

Pop, fucking pop. Can't stress enough how much you need to pop. It'll make it all the much easier.

Sending it to the flat is all the fun in disasters

Last year anything over a 1 foot gap to a rail scared me. Now some of my friends call me "Disaster Master" because I've literally disastered every rail in the park. It's all about just committing to it 100% and being fully confident. Work up to disasters by just landing really far down on normal rails. Here's two examples of my laster disastery: https://instagram.com/p/zaRiwLR-8x

make sure to pop, have enough speed, and enough weight forward to not slip out

if you're talking about the flat down at glen it's super easy, you just need a bit more speed than usual and the lip pops you right up
