- Yeah. Fall down.

- I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, but unless you're to the point that
- you can handle mogul-fields well, it's probably your best bet. Make
- sure that you fall up-hill and not down-hill. Since you'll probably
- just be falling into the steep side of a mogul, it's fairly easy to
- get back up.
-
- You're gonna loose momentum no matter how you stop (unless you fall
- downhill), so you just gotta find a better way to get rid of it. What
- you want to do is hit the top of a mogul sideways, as you lean into the
- hill. As you hit, let your chin hit your knees, and you've lost a lot
- of momentum.
