well it is true that speed helps with balance. heres why...

you still slide the smae amount of ditance, but you dont spend as much time on the obstacle. the more time you spend on the obstacle, the more time you have to make a mistake.

if you can keep your wight going forward but centered over the board it wont slip out, but if the board is going faster than your body is on the rail, the board will finish the rail before you do, and everyone hates that.... as long as you can stay centered over your board it shouldn't slip out.

Another reason it's easier is that when your going fast it takes more force to change your inertia(tendency to stay the same moving unless acted upon by an outside force) and that keeps your balance centered.
