Replying to How to hit down rails with speed?

I don’t know if I’m just missing something or if the park crew at my hill is just doing a not-so-great job, but how do I hit a down rail with any speed? Whenever I try with speed, even with the most minimal pop, I’m not actually touching the rail until about halfway down. On the other hand, I feel like I have to go so slow to actually get onto the start of the rail.

Should I be kind of absorbing the lip or something? I feel like I did a bad job explaining the problem.
