key points for beginners, dont get scared about the speed, it may seem like your blazing downhill fast, but your really only going standard speed. Once you're in the air, the easy parts done, just focus hard on the landing, you dont want your nose too far forward, or you tail sticking out either. Try and find a balance between the two but with a slight lean forward to continue momentum and keep balance... mini jumps(usually on the side of a basic face) can be great testers.
