Hey guys.

For fucks sake I can't stick my landing on boxes. Like I have no trouble staying off my edges or sliding. I just can't stay off my edges.

Approach box...pop off of lip or ride onto box...look at end of box the whole time...come off the box. You are now pro.

Do you mean going off early? Do you mean landing sideways?

Yes I keep landing sideways. When I try to pop at the end one ski like gets stick and I end up loosing my balance and almost falling.

I actually rarely pop if I go normal off a box. I just drop and rotate 90.

its purely a practice thing unfortunately. learning how to grip the rail/box is important for spinning out. look up videos on it if you haven't already. K2 school of rockers is a good one or the jib jam trick tips are what i used when i first got into the park a few years back. hope that helps

^^^^^^^^^Hahahaha I remember these guys when they asked here on NS if doing a Day In The Life Park City with trick tips and shit was a good idea. They look like total chads.... and not the gappy kind either.
