How do it
Probably the easiest trick in snowboarding, although many consider the boardslide even easier.
1.
Knees are bent and ready to execute an ollie.
2.
The entry is performed with a classic ollie. Ride up to the rail at a minimal angle (literaly make it almost parallel), transfer part of your weight towards the rear edge, so that you can steer yourself onto the top of the rail once you perform the snap. The key to a succesfull grind is landing exactly in the center of the rail, i.e. on the top of the railing surface, thus allowing you to catch your balance.
3.
If you've jumped onto the obstacle correctly, then catching and holding your balance shouldn't be much of a problem, so once you feel confident with your 50‑50 entry, you can move on to various 180, 360 and 540 exits.
