ok so i can 270 on fairly well but my problem is after the 270.  i have a really hard time locking in, especially on boxes, and i just keep spinning on the box/rail.  help?

What I try to do is when i 270 on i try to stop my upper body rotation at 180 degrees and just let my from my hips down continue the spin, it will take a while for you to get the hang of it but it helps me. also you could try dragging your front foot.

Look uphill when you land on the box.  If that doesen't work good enough, do that AND dip your front foot down

i try to stop my roation at 180 and just spin my feet the rest of the 270. Then tilt the forward ski upon its edge and that usually helps also

I just need to get past the "Holy shit did I make it I should look at my feet to see if I actually got that shit oh fuck I just fell on my ass" stage. Sometimes I get it and taste sweet victory but sometimes... well, sometimes I fall on my ass and it pisses me off haha. Frustrating when you know what you need to do to fix your problem but at the worst possible moment instinct takes over and you fail.
