Don't go for 2s out till u can slide the whole rail nice and clean and don't step onto the rail, pop on.

You need to improve your pop and maybe try to go a little faster. Looks like you are on a good way

Up until recently I just had trouble sliding the whole rail. I finally found the secret. Ski onto the rail faster and pop more. Just make sure to spread your legs to stay nice and relaxed.

Don't open up your shoulders to the rail before you've popped. Your rotation on should be driven by your hips more than anything.
Keep your leading hand down by your hip
When you pop onto the rail try starting at the end of the rail.
Try wiggling your feet in sync like toe high heel high over and over to feel the rail more under your feet and feel locked in more

Scissor the rail with your skis/put one ski at an angle to stay locked in. Helps a ton with 2s out and even just sliding it clean.
