Kso I can do boxes sideways pretty solid. I can get on to the rail for about a foot before I either fall on my ass or slide off the front. I've been trying every weekend for about a month now and I can't seem to get it!

I know you're supposed to start with the rail under your balls and jump 90°, but after that it's all bad. Tips? Tricks? Anything would really help.

make sure you turn your shoulders to keep them parallel with your skis. look at the end of the rail. commit. keep your legs spread and your head over your center of balance directly between your skis. don't lean too far back.

-Hands out in front (not waving around like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQWq9XjT8mY )
-Spread your feet a bit.
-Eyes on the end of the rail.
-If you're catching an edge you might need to detune?
-Just keep hiking it and commiting. You can only get better.
