- Run at the rail at a medium speed so that you do not stick on the rail or slip back.
- Know when and where you are going to apporach the rail, if this is your first boardslide start from around 2-3 feet away from the rail.
- Frontside or backside 180 ollie up on the rail so that you are facing the direction you are grinding.
- Make sure you have the right amount of weight on the board so you won't fall off and injure yourself while sliding.
