learn with a small jump onto a short box, lift your legs and spread when you land, and dotn spin like a 3 or a 1, dont just turn your legs, ( like a 180 off a tiny jump) . Set a fairly quick spin, but dont crank your neck over your shoulder, lift your legs and turn your shoulders, just after you get 180, start putting your feet down. you should land with your shoulders perpindicular to the box, with your head forwards and spinning. go for the 270 out if its a short box or jus land forwards. If your really confident on a long box, do a 180 onthe box to a blindside 270 out, it really looks cool

just get low and pop yourself up & spin like your throwing down a 3. when u land on the box... have a good leg spread for balance and just slide the shit out of it. ive been doing 900's(on the box, not onto) on a 15ft box at my mt. lately just doing this and trying new things

At fist I learned by just spinning really fast, but if you try and to do basically a 180 and twist, it looks better and it is better, you land squarely on the rail and it helps prevent the over spinnage and multiple uncontrolled switch ups.... what I do is I just ride up and then do a really fast 180 while looking almost between my legs and then twist and once I land on the rail I bring my head around.
