make sure you actually pop and spin 90 degrees and look at the end of the rail

Lean so far forward it almost feels unnatural. This was my biggest mistake when sliding out over and over. And I mean forward as in on your leading foot. Widen your stance by spreading the legs. Stare down the end of the rail. Keep going repeatedly until locking into place feels familiar. Commit and you got it dude.

Keep weight on your front foot to stop yourself from slipping out back. Also don’t be afraid to try out new rails, you won’t get hurt on something one foot tall. Good starter rails are usually thicker tubes, or bar rails low down to the ground.
