Handrails

I'm thinking of trying this handrail at my local skate park, its not as steep as most hand rails. But I'm wondering as what I should do with my weight i.e where to distribute it. When I go down the back I dont really lean anywhere but since I'm doing a 50-50 should I'm thinking of leaning forward a bit, does that sound right? So does anyone have any other tips for hitting one?

your weight should be straight over your board, but if you lean forward going on it will put you in the right place and commit 100%

i've done a few handrails but I always boardslide. It should be no different than normal ones except you will want to probably lean forward a bit more. Is there much of a chance of getting sacked? If so you may just wanna tap it at first if its relatively short.

Its quite long, and after seeing this kid fold himself around this rail today, I'm not sure I want to do it anymore.
