Started trying 270s off rails- any tips?
Got round 180 a few times- do I just need to pop more off the rail?

use your feet, scissor them slightly to grip the rail and for fs 270s slide your back foot forward as you near the end, you don't really even need to use your upper body a ton.

First of all you need to have enough balance at the end of the rail to pop off square.Keep leading with your shoulders and head, your body will follow and you will stick it.

which way? blind side or front side? i'm sure you can do front side 270out first try...blind side take a bit more time. just look over your shoulder and not down, that's key.

The easiest way is:
Decide which way you're going to 270 off before you hit the rail. If frontside, get on the rail, but don't turn your body very much, so you already have your upper body starting the rotation by the end of the rail. If backside, turn your body past your legs when you land, so you can lead with it. When getting to the end of the rail, you can either lean to the side of the rail slightly for some leverage to jump off and spin, or just pop straight up with your knees. Like extend your legs quickly, but not very much. If you do it too much, you'll just bobble the whole thing. Make sure your body is setting the rotation AFTER you pop.

its all about your head man. with any rotation your body will follow where your looking. dont throw it all. and i dont know anything about moving your feet around on the rail. jsut stay calm and pop it. def learn both ways too. and the way you jump on is not always the easiest. different for everybody. keep at it man.

head and shoulders. also depends on which way you spin slide. for example, i spin right and slide right, so i find it easiest to do a reg slide - frontside 270 off because im rotating and sliding regular. but most people will find it easier to spin a backside 270 off because its natural.

wind up near the end of the rail, start spinning on the rail so your like 45-35 degrees at the end of the rial then pop and spin remember the amount you ACTUALLY spin in the air is around 180, maybe i lil bit more, so dont try to hard

They are super easy- once u get used to it, it's easier to throw then coming off normal. Its all in the shoulders....

i have only done a few 270's out but i have done a lot more 270 on 270 out because it is easy to keep the momentum going.

try to lean as far back as u can on the rail, u may think ul fall but you will not, this juts helps you land more forwards on your feet after the 270

when you learn 270s off make sure that you are spinning frontside (so you can see your landing at first), even if that would be unnatural, do it anyway, its easier than blindside.

alright so when you usually slide a rail you have your shoulders parallel to the rail right? when you near the end of the rail turn your shoulders so that your chest is facing the landing. your skis will turn slightly try to grip the rail with your skis. pop and spin. since your body is already turned down the rail, you really only need a 180 spin. all of this should take place on the last 2 feet of the rail. since your leading with your upper body you'll spin faster and easier then with just your legs. its just about trying it till you get it.
