You need a taller rail so you are actually sliding the rail.

all you do is take both ends of the dough, and shape it like a heart, but do it so that there is still like 6" of dough-slack. Then twist them around each other, and attach it to the bottom/sides of the "heart"

put it in the oven and sprinkle some salt on that bad boy and you're ready to go!

higher rail for sure, and maybe a little more speed, build a starting ramp on top of your hill

yeah you dont need to center mount ur skis or any of that bullshit, though it might help a little. I would try to dig out your rail a little bit though because you do have to tilt your skis to change your momentum, think of it as gripping the rail, it feels like you are. dip the toe of your front ski down and if your on a skinny rail dip the heel of your back foot over the other end and it will help you spin the other way. also when your first learning them dont set the 270 crazy hard try to set it softly so you can start the spin the other way easily.

well for starters you need a taller rail and a longer one. this will make it so when you come off you don't need to huck madstyle. if the rail is longer, you have more time to prepare for the pretzel 270 out. if you have that, it will make it alot easyier.
