180 twist then slowly bring about your head.

try to set your rotation slower....dont use your arms as much that was you dont have that excess spinning.

if you do it onto a rail its easier to keep your skis from keeping going. boxes are another story tough

Ooo that's a really good point. Try doing a 180 twist w/o winding up.

i can't do em, but ive heard most people say to spin 180 and then drop the skis another 90, instead of trying to spin your body the full 270

heres what i do:
https://www.newschoolers.com/ns3/web/content/videos.php?vid=26264&
just try to rotate your lower body mostly untill 180, then snap your upper body around to keep your leds stalled out untill the end, which sets you up well to spin off.

Pick up your eyes, and dont look at the end of the rail immediatelly. The longer you look perpendicular to the rail, the less you will keep spinning.

this is just some screwing around on a rail, but it shows pretty well what to do if you look at it closely. just try to rotate mostly your lower body untill you get to 180, then snap your upper body around to keep your legs stalled out untill the end, and look at the end immediately which sets you up well to spin off.

Try to look uphill when you first get on, the longer you look up hill the longer you'll stay perpendicular to the rail.

the only problem with that is staying on the rail without eating it big on a kink/curve or just coming off the rail when not expecting it.

on boxes i sometimes keep my back foot flat, then kinda angle my front ski uphill and on edge and it sometimes stops the spinning.

its good you ask that because spinning "on" the actual box is the height of homosexuality

if the box is med wide its not poss to stop spinning. youve created momenteum so you will keep spinning you can slow your spin but you will keep spinning no matter what. on rails you can stop ur spin by locking onto the rail. do this by angleing ur skis like you do when you spin a reg 270 off. but on a long box if you 270 on best choice is to sw up

Well I say throw your spin around faster but stall it out at 180 so you kind of just cruise around to 270 and then keep a wide base and try to keep yourself from spinning. Wide base is the most important part if you ask me
