Sliding out and falling you mean? That's normal when you learn to spin on. Spinning makes you off balanced until you figure it out. There's nothing you can do except practise.

so your leading with your right foot? So your sliding unatural? Just try to slide a rail unnatural first to get it down. If I read it wrong this is my other guess. Sounds like your just leaning to far back, lean more forward and try to loosen up and bend your knees

If your edge is catching, detune.  If you're sliding out, the biggest thing is to commit and keep your spin on axis (for the 270).  Think of putting most of your weight on your front foot when you land.  Keep you hands in front of you, have your feet about should width apart, and bend your knees.  If you combine all that it should help.
