For riding the heelside you want to keep your knees slightly bent, weight centered, and balanced over the heelside edge. If you do exactly that and you find that the edge slips out from underneath you and you fall on your butt, it could be an equipment issue. Check to make sure that both of your bindings have forward lean set. I think the average should be about 12 degrees of forward lean, give or take a couple. In other words, if you look at your bindings and see that the highback is at a 90 degree angle to the baseplate, then you have 0 degrees of forward lean. That is bad and will cause lots of butt-flops. There should be a highback forward lean adjuster on your bindings. Some require a tool (such as a screwdriver) and some do not. Adjust that so you have some forward lean. This will allow you to work the heel edge into the snow surfac

highback forward lean adjuster on your bindings. Some require a tool (such as a screwdriver) and some do not. Adjust that so you have some forward lean. This will allow you to work the heel edge into the snow surface while keeping your knees flexed slightly. It will also keep the edge of the board under you and help keep it from slipping out!
Notice that the measurement is the degrees of variance FROM THE RIGHT ANGLE (90 degrees).
