Everytime I hit my hills DFD I either come off early right after the kink or make it to the down but only on my tails and come off early. Any tips would be great. Also the 22ft walled pipe opened up, anytips for that would be great too. +k for good advice

Bend your knees to absorb the kink, keep your eyes at the end of the rail...think of it as a flat rail, just keep looking forward.

Stare at the enld of the rail. it will help you stay centered and balanced. match the slope of the rail with your feet and try to keep your wieght on your front ski.also it helps to suck your knees up as you go over the kinks but that's not necessary

getting low definitely helps a whole bunch for me, and for sure stare at the end of the rail, and just try to keep ur weight centered

Thanks for the replies I have it pretty much dialed now looking to the end and bending my knees helped a lot and when I get on a computer karma will be coming your way
