Each time i tried it my first day i just kept skiing onto it instead of hitting it straight on then turning my skis, so i would just keep sliding off. I'm sure if i could have done it like i was being told to it would have been like your experience

yeah mate fell back straight on my hip.
that will generally happen on your first rail, coz you dont wanna lean too far forward,

I am yet to see someone put too much weight forward though

picture you are running and jumping on a skateboard - thats always a good tip

I inched up to the rail, and slid about two feet then fell off. But the first time I actually thought about it, and really tried to grease it, I slid it. That was a small flat down, and now I'm sliding a 16ft flat, and I havn't fallen yet.

Hit it, looked kinda goofy. It was about 8-10 feet so I got the whole thing. Kinda came off weird and washed out on my tails a little.

Something like slid for maybe 3ft then fall back and kinda lay there for a minute, then I got up and tried again which was about the same result of the first try.

Well it went like this...

Switch cork 810 with a nice little op mute thrown in for steeze, I landed on the rail 360 blindside switch-up to 540 switch up, then I threw in a backflip off the rail, stuck the landing, and the rail burst into flame...
