smith - learn 50-50's and lipslides. frontside is easier. you have to go fast to keep sliding, they're easier to do on rails but a little bit scarier. i learned them on ledges so its doable. ollie straight over the ledge and keep your front foot on the bolts. you have to lean back farther than you'd expect. at first only slide a little bit. to come out just lift your front trucks and come out of it like a 50-50.

feebles - learn backside 50-50's and boardslides. use the same as the smith for the most part except you have to lean to the side a little bit.
basically just ollie over it into position balanced enough to slide.

to slide feebles keep pushing the side of the board into the rail. I'm just learning them, but i've found that out. Lock it in there to slide it.

For smith make sure to lock the truck in place and to keep your feet in the same position the whole time youre grinding. To get out of one just lift up your truck.

Feebles:They're basically the same as smiths. Just learn backside 50-50's really good and then just practice locking your back truck into feeble position. This is not an easy grind,but they are possible with lots of practice.
