All my hill has set up right now is 2 boxes and a dfd handrail. looking for some tips to help me get the whole thing, i was trying yesterday but i kept getting bucked off to the left side when i hit the flat. i know everybody is gonna tell me to commit, but im looking for other tips to help me grease it. should i try to focus on landing on my toes next time? +k for help.
 
If you're coming in from the right, that means you're leaning too far over the rail when you hit the flat part. Sounds super simple but that's all it is. I still struggle with this at the beginning of the season when my legs aren't back yet.
 
once you hit the kink lean back a little to stay on. i find that whenever i come off early on dfd's its to the left side, and i come on the same way as you. really commit and feel the rail and you'll get it
 
Sometimes it helps me to really try and hit the kink hard with my knees and kinda power through it rather than just hitting it normal. Also if you slide right foot forward and get bucked off to the left you could possibly be hopping on too early. Try a little more speed and maybe even try to pedal once you're on the rail.
 
What i find really helpful is keeping your eyes locked at the end of the rail. Also focuse on having the rail under your boot to stay centered on it.
