You fall off balance probably because your arms and legs are flailing everywhere man. Try to keep everything tighter so you don't get off balance. Not tighter as in stiffining up your body but tighter as in keeping yourlegs together and not letting your arms crank down the windows. Good luck man

If your attack is going well, then it's an ambush..

this will sound stupid but do an edie or daffy cuz it keeps your body really balanced, as long as you pop good off the jump. i know this is stupid but old school can be fun and if it gets you comfy on the jump so you can move on to grabs who cares. dont worry about what other people are thinking just have fun.

if you land on your back, you just have to throw your head backward a little and you'll do a backflip.

seriously, grabbing or spinning will help you to stay balanced.
