approach it with the same angle as the curve, as in, if its curve from right to left, come fromt he right with a little angle left. Speed is a factor, so try to figure that out. Also, make a conscious effort to swing you tails/tips (whichever is on the outside of the curve) around, that way you stay perpendicular to the box, and will have a better chance staying on it.

make sure to have a relatively wide stand and knees bent. Just like your stance on any other bax/rail. A key theing is where you're looking. The easiest box for me is one right my right foot leads and my tips are pointing up. I usually look about 3 feet infront of me and then ride it, some people liek to look at the end of the box though. depending on how mellow the box is, you may have to sit back a bit. don't really angle your body, just kind of drop your ass like you would on a tail press so your weight is more back. just make sure you have a wide stance and knees bent, otherwsie you'll get hurt flipping and flying off the box.

try coming at it with a lot less speed than what you are going right now. The biggest reason people fall off s rails and C boxes is because they are coming at it too fast so they fall off the back.

plus, if you shoot over the top, you can't see where you're going and it's harder to pull a recovery

I find it's easier with my tips inside, although I think tips out looks way better.

I almost always come in tips in. Its more awkward for me to have tips out.

Keep your shoulder's above the apex of the box.
Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

Too slow will mean you'll come off on the inside, and probably hip check on the box, not fun.
Too fast you'll come off the middle launching, probably a bit sideways, making for un fun hip landings.

Just learn what speed to hit it at perfectly, and lean into the curve.

well the speed at which you come in will obviously affect how much you have to lean. myself, i like to come in at a medium slow speed so i dont have to lean in alll that much. find the speed/position you feel comfortable with and work with it.

I learned by working my speed up, starting real slow and having my tips out and then you can just fall backwords and ride off fakie. What I love to do is slide it with a nose press and then fakie off of it. Another fun thing on a c box is to only slide on the upper rail.
Peace Out!!!

hey, skibum_, i might be sounding like a bit of an ass, no matter how you look at it your tips are always pointing towards the top and the bottom,
