try manualing up to the rail (better yet a parking block) u wont go as fast then:D

When you get ready to jump onto the rail, lean foward. This will help you stay on the board. And as you near the end of the rail, get ready to land the trick.

bend ur knees for more balance

[papa nollie]

bend your knees and lean forward a bit

When you hit the rail throw your wait forward. I had the same problem until I figured that out.

yeh lean foward while pushng your feet out it might help

[Sk8r Dude]

just remember the key is to have good balance make sure u have!!

[mad man skate]

what i would do is get on a real low rail and not one on an angle up or down and approach it reeeeal slow and learn the slide the hard and slow way and ull have less problems later u can master it in an hour of skatin no problem

i have the same prblem dude

oh oh I know this problem bigtime. I see a ton of new boardsliders making the same mistake.

The answer is slide your body on the rail. Anticipate the slide before it happens. Time it a little ahead of the board and you will slide perfectly.
