I'm trying to do one where it goes up and then down while it curves. I get up but then fall of toward the center before the down. If anyone can help I would appreciate it

It's more like a rail like maybe 4 or 5 inches wide and its tilted over like crazy more then other ones. I can do half of it. It goes up pretty high too. Me and my friend are the only skiers who hit it all day.

If you come off early too low, you're going too slow. If you come off the top too early, you're not taking the curve properly.

adjust urself with your shoulders a bit, and adjust exactly your speed, speed is really important for cboxes.

I'm a big fan of riding the coping at the top and cheating my way out of it. Especially if you're the only skiers hitting it. You'll feel great about sorta-sticking it and the snowboarders will think very highly of you. It's a win-win all around.

If that isn't your fancy, hit it w/ more speed and turn your chest/ torso toward the direction your sliding. I had to hit it un-natural the first time I stuck it. Try a bunch of different shit til you find what works for you.

it wil be easier if you come in hot, but youll have to lean more. if you come in slower you wont have to lean much

i try to hit them as straight on as possible with a lot of speed, but not so fast as to get launched off the back end of it. just keep hittin it and go with the flow. you'll get it soon enough!

Look at the end of the box. Pretty much where ever you look is where you will come off if you do everything else right.

speed helps. and always keep your eyes on the rail focus them on the end. keep your hands in front of you.

the answer isnt always more speed...yes if youre falling off the inside but if you are falling off the backside you may need less speed to go with the curve...and lean

your speed has to be perfect, and yuo hav to lean perfect, its tricky depending on how angled the box is, but once you get the hang of it its easy
