From personal experience, spines can be annoying if you get them even slighty wrong.

A few tips that can help you get them perfect:

Foot Placement
Put you toes on your pedals, it helps you nose the bike easier, gives a bit more control and if you case they slide forward to normal position, instead of forward and off the pedal.

Lineup
Line yourself up so that you are correct to the way that you carve, i.e. so that you dont have to turn back on yourself or anything.

Speed
The faster you go, the higher you go. Antipump if necessary (push forward into the ramp not down)

Pull Up & Back
Once you get to the coping, pull up like a beast and back a little bit too, this helps that speed make you go up not forward so that you dont flat bottom it.

Carve/No Carve
Unless you're going at 100mph, the more you carve the lower you wil go.
Don't do it dead straight though, because it makes the movement in the air harder to control and guide.

Relax!
Don't panic because it moves your concentration elsewhere. If you feel like you're going to nose-case then pull up the bars and lean back a little.

Guide it Home
Once you reach the peak of your jump, lean forward and push back on the pedals with your feet, pushing down on your bars at the same time to guide you and your bike safely down the other side of the ramp.

Good luck! Evidence is below:
