definitely be confident, you go up to doubting it can end badly. And also know what your doing. If you've never done a boardslide in your life, don't try it down a rail. And try not to bail, I got lucky my first try. I jumped off my board and nearly nutted myself. Stick with it till the end. sliding isn't that hard part i feel, its the landing in most cases. Get on the rail and get confident, then go for the landing. Good luck

First of all, you must by no condition freak out after you ollie, that will make you bail. Commit and try doing a shorter one at start so you can easily bail without serious injuries. I agree with djkells, landing is a bit harder than the sliding part. Once you actually slide on it, you won't have problems with the slide on that handrail anymore. Good luck and don't forget to record it if your doing it :)

Commit. Come at it like a normal boardslide, and lean forward more than you would think (if its your first) just make sure your body is perpendicular with the rail (90 degree angle)
