You want to kind of hook it where the pedal and crank arm meet and use pedal pressure to stay on.

If you feel like you're going to loop out, you just wanna lean over the bars a little more. But you'll know when you get it locked in because it feels like you could go forever.

you need taller rails for crankarm slides,

bb slides are way easier,

just make sure your on your back foot and stand on the rail while your bb and crank arm lock the front in,
your front wheel should hang a little bit over the rail.

trails are not skateparks, they exist solely from the work and dedication of local riders. so next time you start complaining about not having local trails to ride, you only need look at yourself.
Bike check?
