Easier on taller and longer rails. The longer you sit on them, the more time you have to get ready to get out of them.

the more you pinch the easier it grinds and the less likely it'll flip on the dismount. as mentioned above, sitting on a longer rail helps to get a controlled dismount

took me forever to learn it
feels like the faster you go the easier it is which is scary as fuck. but the grind slow you down so much and you feel really locked in once you get them good.

one thing i never realized is you gotta try and turn it towards boardslide kinda as much as you possibly can without it turning into a boardslide and really hugging it against that heelside back wheel. the more you can sit on top of the wood the easier it seems to stay in the grind. i always always trying to turn it as much towards 5050 as possible and that is wrong. your wheels will hit the side and you will just stop.

the way i think about putting the weight on my backfoot is similar to how i would do a lipslide on a ledge if that makes any snese (moreso for a smith grind but its the same principle, just different approach.

Good tips, however for most people i think smith grinds and lipslides on ledges are learned way after backside feebles, so i don't know how many will find that useful. might be wrong though

i thought front lips were a lot easier than back feebles. i learned front lip in the first few years of skating, took me like 20 years to learn back feebles for some reason
