Hi. Usually if I get off a chairlift and I have to go straight for some distance to get to the slope, I catch an edge or a bump (stuff like that) and fall. Any tips for cruising straight on flats?

Sure thing dude, I hate when that crap happens too! Here is a tip for ya. You want your board to go straight but don't stand flat on your board. Ride slightly on heelside or toeside, whichever is uphill. Even on flat terrain, no part of the mountain is totally flat. Eye down the trail and feel with your feet for the uphill side, then ride that side -- just a little. Don't go to the edge so much that you tip over, but just enough to pressure the edge.

Also, try to get as much speed as you can. This will help with balance and get the crappy part over with faster.

When i want to go straight all i do is put my front foot into a toeside turn and my back foot into a heelside turn and i go perfectly straight down the hill. I guess you can see if that works for you
