You gotta stay centered above the board, You might be going to slow when your approching the rail. Try it with a little more speed, and stay above the board

If it's pretty slick you can go fast and lean a little more forward than you would think.

And try bs board slides first (back facing the object) then progress to fs then your lip slides.

Thanks for all the help guys, i was just out skating and did 4 or 5 boardslides and after that i did a couple and landed them clean.

Do those concrete parking blocks work good for sliding? i was thinking about going to school and stealing one.

Concrete isnt the best stuff to slide on, it wrecks ur board 2 quick.
