"Okay so what I am going to be showing you now is how to ride the rail where the lift or takeoff is not directly in front of it, it is more of a hand rail style rail that is meant to represent more sort of the hand rails that go down a stair case. With this one what you will want to notice is since the lip is not directly in front of it, you are going to want to come towards the side of it and pop and swing your feet and bring your noses kind of up and over the rail and slide it just as exactly you would if it were a normal flat bar but you are definitely going to want to jump and always keep in mind to keep your weight centered because with the down slope rail it is a little easier to slip out so you don't want to lean too far back on this foot and loop out and you definitely do not want to catch on this because it is a little bit more of a consequence than the other boxes of rails that we were doing before. So you are going to want to come to the side, pop up, spin 90 degrees, land sideways on the rail and then once you get to the bottom of it you want to go and pop back so you can land regular again."
