probably spot your landing and don't hit your skis on the rail that would just suck

i find it easier if you can keep your skis together when your bringing them over the rail then open up to spot your landing, looks stezier to

today was the first day ive really been able to get out on my rail and thats just what i was working on.  i found it much easier when i first, looked down the rail as i got ready, and second it was all about spotting the landing because on a smallish spin like that you really dont need a ton of power.  and thats crazy that its easier to 270 in, lucky guy.

front or blind 270?

and are you going to be spinning natural or unnatural.

those two things change everything about how you do it so...

if you're doing a frontside 270 off and sliding right foot foward you want to scissor your skis so that your right tail is down and your right tip is up, this will give you a grip of the rail and you will be able to pop the spin off. for backside right foot forward, same thing, scissor your skis but look the other way and get that grip so you can pop the spin off. once you are able to get that scissor down and you can lock in, spinning off will be a lot easier both directions.
