Having some issues with this DFD at my hill. Not too steep but everytime I hit that first kink I can keep my feet over the box for the final down and usually just fall.

Any tips etc.?

for flat rails ya know how you keep you try and keep feet together? with kinks you need to kind of use your feet as seperate and absorb the kink with your front foot. That helps me with keeping my weight balanced

look towards the end of the rail and absorb the kinks with your knees

Look right at the end of the box not at the kink. Bend them knees, with a wide stance and you will ride those kinks easy.

ive definitly heard this before but with a dfd how can you look at the end of the boxes, dont you need to know when you're gonna hit the kink? should i look at thee end of the first box (the kink) then after i hit the kink look at the end of the second down box?

if you put the asterisks in the title (like this - **...** ) you look like a fool who thinks his popularity will drop in temperature or be "cooler" and that people will notice his threads more.

Why don't you just shut up and leave, you seem to be the fool here.

look at the very end and use your peripherals to figure out when you are going to hit the kinks.
