I thought I must have been watching the wrong video and I WAS - that of Peter Hollenbeck - and my comments apply to him!! Sorry about that robillard. If you want sensible comments you really need to show us some video -cant find yours but I am technologically challenged. :crying:

Video... do that.... Ussually if your trail leg breaks straightness when you leave the groud that could be due to your hips falling under you when you take off. Rather than keeping your core upright and behind the pole, say like in a free take off, where your body and the pole meets at 90 degrees... Its fixable, however having not seen your jump, you may be taking off flate, inside, getting hit by the pole, arms may not be up... all those things can contribute to a broken trail leg.... with some video the community could help you more...
