carry your momentum into the rail and switch up with your feet first, your body will follow..it takes practice

get on solid then pop and set the spin. also try them on boxes first then move to rails. oh and i can tell you a new memeber cus youve already made 3 threads in about 5 minutes.

look its not complicated if you know how to do a 270 just start your 270 earlier and spin a little bit less for a blinde switch
up start with a blind side 270 out and do the same thing
pratice a little and after 10 trys of trying it you should
be getting good at them also start with a flat rail

this is how i learned look at the begining of the rail when you get on then through your feet and your head will follow or throuhg your head first and your feet will follow whatever feels more comforatble i guess good luck and its easier to learn on a kinked box first
