Hey guys, just wondering what your preference is when you do 270s off of rail.  I personlly find back sides easier so you land forward and they feel and look cleaner in my opinion.  I can still do frontside 270s out but tend to do them less.  I think the only time I would choose to do them was if it was off a steep urban rail because if you land underrotated a bit it is less forgiving.


what about you guys whats easier for you?

depends on the rail usually, for urban/down style rails i prefer the frontside/pretzel 270 on up rails i usually try the backside first

I find FS 270s easier, you can see you landing the whole time and like you said are much more forgiving.  That said I thing BS 270s are much more impressive and look more natural/smooth/cool/better.  IMO fs 270 is a played out trick

yea i think some people tend to sort of over grip and it looks mad sloppy. Ive always just found backsides easier, maybe becuase off a jump i spin left also? i dunno

depends if it's on a box or rail. If it's on a box, I find it easier just to keep the rotation going the same direction, whatever that may be. If it's on a rail (where there's more control) fs 2s are easier.

I usually get on unnatural or 270 on and do it front side. Back side is really hard for me but might be easier the next time I go skiing this summer because I started blading and do bs 270 outs alot.

I think bs looks cooler, when its only a 270..... but for 450s fs is the shit

for me fs is wayy easier (i slide left foot forward and spin left so i naturally learned those first) but as far as looks go id say its a toss up.

But yeah front 4's are the tits.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRETZEL 270 kids are so fucking dumb sorry but this is like the 100th time ive seen kids say this


just cause u slide right foot and grip and spin 270 out front side does not make it a pretzel in any sense. you have to rotate 180+ , then change directions for it to be pretz

i thought a pretzel was just where you do the gas pedal with your foot and change your rotation?

fs 27's look so gay imo. bs looks way smoother and better off anything pretty much.

best rail trick ever is a fs switchup to bs 270 out on a dfd id have to say
