Replying to How to hit a PVC rail

it seems like everyone with 2 legs can learn all 8 on a backyard setup, but its just not working that way for me. Even though I have spent around 100-200 hours on my rail in the past year, I've only learned 3-4 new tricks and had a minor boost in confidence, plus I simply feel slower to progress on PVC than on snow. I think the biggest thing holding me back is that i straight up cannot even finish the rail 3 out of 4 times. I just lose that perfect balance and slide off to the left or right, at random, meaning there's an opportunity to try a trick only once in a while. Is there some sort of edge control techniques/scissoring to use on the rail to just lock in and slide right to the end? It could also be that I'm skiing on my old 155cm beaters which are mounted at recommended instead of center, totally messing up the center and overall balance of the skis. tell my why I suck/ pick apart my rail skiing. (ill add videos from my phone of my setup for context)
