try adding some forward lean to your bindings, helps in keeping your board flat on the backside. stay comprees throught the transition then explode from the lip.

see how flat Reesy came off the lip? ^ is about the point you want to decomprees and use your body to pop you up (not away from unless of course the pipe is lacking of vert) the lip.
