try slowing down or speedingup your spin and keep looking at the end of the feature youre doing it on.

i usualy look at the part of the rail i want to land on when i am spining, then when you land look at the end of the rail and you will almost automaticaly do a 270 out.

Maybe you need to make your stance wider

Just keep practicing. I kinda have the same problem as you, I kill it on the boxes but rails I seem to fuck up. But its getting better.

actually he may be right. you might just need to have your legs wider apart as you pop onto the box/rail. chill dude

are you drifting or osmhting (must be if your missing the rail) so if you spin left, start farther right on the box/rail, and oppisite if you spin right.

umm well i have done a few then the snow left me . soo back to the point , when you span try to spin fast then stop the span at the 270 adn then land on the rail . what iam saying is try to stop your spin before you land on the rail.

i usually keep my feet together while spinning, cuz it makes me spin faster. the kickers at my hill are like almost connected with the rails

i wouldnt keep ur feet right together, just make sure u get a good pop, look where u wanna land, turn your whole body 180, then try to just turn 90 w ur hips, this stops u from spinnin of the rail

Best example: Ya, just watch the rail center between your feet after a 180 and then just spin the 90 wit your hips. You definately won't have to worry about missing the rail if u do this.

for me switch 270 on are easier cause you can spot the rail the whole time. I got those down first cause i usually slipped off when regular 270ing on.

try just popping a 270 on the ground once you get that just take slow speed and try it on a box then once you get that down try it fast, its realll easy once you get it down

If you carve before that's probably screwing you up. Keep straight going on and straight spin on. Thats what I do and it works great.

adjust your positioning to compensate for where you miss and dont wind up for them (it looks worse and i think it makes it harder to get locked on)
