actually grind it dont just tap it

Hop higher and get centered above the rail. The way you did it, you kinda just hit the side of it. When you hit a flat bar, you can tell the difference between just hitting it, and actually being balanced on it. When hitting longer handrails you need to hop higher than you think you need to and make it so that your balls are dead center over the rail, not to the side. Even though it's scarier to have them over the rail.

go slower, i dont go half that when im hitting rails 5 times the size of that

Haha yeah i dont want to grind the rail with my balls brandon, but your totally right, but in my defence you cant grind that rail much more than I did in this video because its so damn steep, by the time your really high your already at the end of the rail
alright thanks parrish ill try that

Try to hit that same rail with all your weight directly above the rail, rather than to the side. Since that's a pretty high rail it's pretty tough to get all your weight up there. If you can do that then you'll be ready for longer rails. The hardest part is getting onto the rail correctly. And that's a good rail to practice getting on to because you don't have to worry about balancing after you get on.
