Slipping out backwards I assume?  If so then practice rails with your other foot forward.  Then just concentrate on not leaninng back while your spinning and after you switchup.

i always get my skis caught under the rail, i can do it on a box no problem. Its important to pop hard off the rail, that is what i dont do.
