Ive been riding for about 4 years on and off, and park for about a year. Ive boticed that I cant 270 off of rails, and its pissing me off. Ive gotten a few off of boxes, but even then just barely. The problem is that i dont have enough rotation. I can get tons of pop off the ends, but i just cant seem to get past a 180. Ive tried winding up, but that looks gay, and still doesnt work. My problem may have something to do with me not center mounting my bindings(i dont know what the fuck i was thinking). Any help is apperciated, and be specific if you can.

ok heres what you do.... if you want to 270 off the same way you want to go onto the rail and catch it somewhere near your back binding. as you slide the rail keep turning your head until your getting close to buttering around to switch 50-50 at the end of the rail pop and use your shoulders and front foot to spin the rotation off

while your doing whatever trick your doing on the rail, turn your head as far as it will go in the direction you want to 270 off. when you come off the end, the rest of your body will follow your head.

turning your head is important, also be sure to turn your shoulders ninety degrees so you are kind of wound up to spin off

try spinning off of your nose or tail, not with the rail right between both your feet. just slide onto your nose or tail right at the end of the rail, and start spinning while still on the rail, then just turn those shoulders. and stomp that shit with authority
