Replying to How do I get off rails?

Ya boy finally sent it on some rails, but I haven’t landed one yet. I can get on and ride them fine, but I can’t exit them without fucking up. I can land tiny ones where I can make it to the end, but when I have to bail early on an longer rail I always end up eating shit. This eating of the shit usually entails me straddling the rail and getting a shot to the balls, or tilting off the side and falling over. Is it recommended to pop off the rail or just sort of lean off? Thanks.
