Wide ass legs and look at the end of the rail the whole time!

yea look at the end of the rails and try and stray loose so you can move with the rail..taht probably doesnt make sense but just try and feel it

i urge you NOT to get smaller skis. i don't think anything under 170 for someone as tall as you is even legit, much less better for you..

keep your weight centered... dont lean too far back or forward or you'll eat shit

also, if you're sliding off one end or the other, try to come at the rail different, instead of straight on...
sometimes it does wonders
just experiment
