Yeah okay, i've been snowboarding for about 4 years, and i'm 15 years old.

Thought this is the first year i really do snowboard each week, other years i would only do it 4-5 times per week.

So i started doing some park about 3 months ago.

Tricks i am able to do :

50-50

Board

5-0
These are all on boxes

And i can do the jumps straight air or indy.

What i need help with :


Tips on how to complete rails (strangely i hop on them but i always fail at clearing them in 50-50, i always slip out of it)

Tips on how to do spins on jumps

Thanks in advance for your help,

It sounds to me like the reason you are slipping off of rails is a commitment issue. If you are sliding the first half fine there is no reason you shouldn't be able to slide the whole feature.
My advice would be to make sure that you are looking at the very end of the feature or landing and not down at your feet. You will go where you look. Also you may want to try hitting the feature with a little more speed so your momentum will carry you to the end of the rail without having to balance as much.

Aside from that when you are lining up to hit the feature don't worry about slipping off the side, just hit it with confidence and look towards the end of the rail and stomp the landing.

As far as spinning goes look at this thread http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tip...ng-guides.html
and go on youtube and type in snowboard addiction and watch their videos on jumping and spinning.
