Make sure you get your deck level on the rail.
like make sure you get ontop of it
if you dont you'll slip out of hit your back wheel jumping into it

Ok man make sure you get up and over the rail and get balanced, another thing that will help is taking like a flat bar and putting it on a curb and then practicing that way, you may fall if you catch but this will help get the feeling
this isnt a big rail but the end I talk about on downrails

..? what. overshoot it and its like a rail hop lol.
Back lips are one of those tricks where you either go for it or you get hurt. If you don't commit you're going to end up more fucked than if you eat shit trying if you know what I mean.
The most important thing (for me anyway) is making sure that your back wheel is clear of the rail by the time you go over it. If it ain't then you'll probably never try another back lip.
Even if your back wheel is higher and slides or taps the rail on the way over you'll most likely eat it hard.
Just don't do it on a high rail first and you'll be right.

Probably gotta let go with one hand to get completely back like B Ry... and I think if you extend too much it won't come back got all this from a batwing instructional, haha.

Make sure you can front board a downrail with comfort, otherwise theres no point of even attempting this trick.If you can, the only tip i can really give is find a low downrail for it, preferably a square rail so you can lock in( not everyones preference) and just send it!good luck!

grow some balls and do it. Nobody has ever landed a trick by not trying it. keep level. Make sure the deck railing is flat with the rail or if its a rounded rail just find your balance point on the rail.
