i try to stay closer to the rail when i jump in, then scissor and pop for the swap. and make sure to bring your head around if you don't want to land switch

Nice, looked pretty smooth to me. Doesn't help that the feature is covered in frozen ice.

Honestly if you can find a bit of a longer rail, hop on then when you’ve locked in turn you’re head around to spot the end of the rail and as you do that pop a little and you’re lower body should follow around with the rotation of head and shoulders.

That was pretty good considering you did it on the worst feature possible lol. Hard to give any real advice unless you do it on a longer feature

longer rail and try to avoid looking down at your feet, I find that typically throws balance off

my only tips are to stay upright, don't look down, and to put a bit more into the swap so you can complete it quicker. Yours was pretty good, a little slow, but you couldn't do much better on that feature lol.
