For those who are just learning to hit rails

I have no prob going straight on to rails like in the vid but when I lip on from the side I always land off center and can't slide very far before falling off. Is there any trick to this, or do I just need to get better at judging my speed and angle?

Try to pop nollie more. It helps you to get your body's center of gravity on top of the rail. If you drop off early you probably just lean your upper body away from the rail too much.
