yea i had this problem too I always kinda fell off early.. this is what I did.. I started coming into the rail with my legs a bit farther apart and the rail in the middle (kinda intimidating) and try absorbing the jump onto the rail and absorbing again when you alnd on the rail. Then turn your head and look at the end of the rail (puts weight forward so you don't fall on your ass) then just balance the rail under your boot. and just turn your body as you pop off.

when you go off the lip try thinking instead of landing on the rail, step up to the rail by aiming a few inches below, makes for a smoother slide




if your not cheating your not trying

THE POWER IS YOURS

Our world is in peril. Gaia, the Spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plagueing our planet. She sends five magic rings to five special young people: Kwame, from Africa, with the power of Earth. From North America, Wheeler, with the power of Fire. From Eastern Europe, Linka, with the power of Wind. From Asia, Gi, with the power of Water. And from South America, Ma-Ti, with the power of Heart. When the five powers combine, they summon Earth's greatest champion, Captain Planet!

ya i had the same problem for a while..i finally got out of that rut by: 1)getting on the rail smoother (try to absorb the impact) 2)making ure i turned the full 90 degrees 3) get your weight farther forward that normal (trust me, you wont catch your edge)

what i did was try and get my COG (center of gravity) lower. its a really simple adjustment and helps a lot. if u stand straight up like i usta u have no control over thats happnin. im gonna taki it back to a level 1 skiing lesson and say 'pretend your a goalie and get a good athletic position.' if i hafta say that phrase again im gonna kill someone.

make sure u r turning 90. check the rail marks under ur skis if they are perpendicular to your edge.
