English term or phrase: he is right down the lip
Bonjour,

un snowboarder tente de faire un rail slide sur un rail assez long. Il "sort" du rail avant la fin. Déçu, son ami s'écrit :

"Oh no! ***He’s right down the lip***."

Merci d'avance.

agree  Delphine G: oui pour "sorti trop tôt", sinon il semble que lip=lèvre de la vague dans le cas du surf en mer, et "sommet du mur" en snowboard, souvent laissé non-traduit en français.
