i would say u might have to keep your weight a little further forward and try and tuck your feet up and look at the pedals the whole way around

jump higher and spin the bike slower, the quicker it spins the harder to catch.

ok tips on airs; go quicker then you feel comfortable doing, you should feel like you going to fast it should be kinda scary, as you hit the bottom of the ramp compress down as if your trying to press down into it then as you start to go up the transition lean back like your trying to manual up the ramp, both your wheels should then hit the coping on the way up, by leaning back it means you are back over the ramp, you should feel like your kinda snapping of the coping when your rear wheel hits it then turn your head and carve back untill your coming back down straight, push down with your front wheel so it hits the ramp first, your rear wheel will then land in the same place providing you dont push out with your legs, then youll land and now you want to compress again and pump back out of the transition. good luck guys

if youre missing the rail, go a bit faster. jogging pace is a good speed to learn. also try doing them on ledges first as its much easier.

from the sounds of it you just need to relax. look at the rail going into it i usually look at it when its 10-15ft away, hop and focus on the rail during the grind, then spot where you want to land. other than that its just practice.
