look at the end of the rail. make sure your center of weight is over the rail too. dont be afraid of speed. definitely left stuff out so add on if u all would like.

I know it's intimidating, but speed helps so much

Keep a kind of wide stance when you pop on to the rail, feet about shoulder width apart when you are actually sliding it, bend your knees slightly, and look at the end. Just commit to it before you even start the trick as well it helps to stay focused.

pop onto the rail, make sure your feet are near the end of the lip so you don't pop to early or have a hard time to get onto the rail. Watch other people hit rails, slow down their video, then watch yourself on video and see what you can do to improve. Video helps a lot!

Good pop (very important), legs shoulder width apart, lowered stance, eyes toward the end the whole feature. And coming with a fair amount of speed, not saying bomb it but if you go too slow it's gonna be hard to balance.
