So today was my second day out and i kept telling my self i would try a 270 off but the whole day i couldnt get the balls for do it. Its nothing super big obviously its just a 270 but i dont know why i wouldnt try it. i just kept feeling i wouldnt get enough momentum to rotate the whole way around. Like i wish i had people pushing me to do it but i dont.

any tips.

Get more speed. But really, i know exactly what your talking about when you say you need someone to push you.
Me and my Friend were just eyeing up this little rail and i was being a pussy and was afraid to hit it. Then my friend who started skiing this year hits it. So i just told myself, oh fuck that, just went for it and yea..it all worked out.

Good luck, you'll get it soon.

Just drink more... passing out is kinda like falling asleep.

Or just smoke a bowl, that always works.

it took me a while to figure it out but this is what got it for me. i spin left naturally too but it doesnt matter
i popped off my nose and think about a point on the nose of your skis watch it whil you spin swing your tail over and keep watching that point try to think about not letting that point move off the side of the rail opposite the side you are riding in on (if its a box, think about not letting that point even go over the other side keep it on the side you take off on) whatch that point and when you see the rail in your periphs then you are finished the spin so spot your landing both on the rail then on the snow

riding straight on to a rail dont pop off your nose unless its a low rail or you have a big nollie cuz your nose will be down and you can catch a ski. just pop normally nice and hard

this isnt pro advice but it is what i did and ive been hitting my 270s pretty consistently. cant hurt to try it if your having trouble but the point is try to nollie and butter (ish) you get a lot of spin that way and you wont have to worry about catching your tip and nutting yoself

the above works just fine as well

Skiing with people older/better than you helps a lot.

I was out with my older brothers friend, and then another kid in the grade above me, and they're both better than me, so that definitely helped push me. I mean it was just hitting rails and spinning threes and whatnot, but it still helps a lot regardless of what you're doing.

i was having the same exact problems. today was my third day in a row up at the mountain and i just really wanted to get sw on,  270's off. it was  off a box so it really isnt that big a deal but i wanted to at least land it once this weekend/week and the first run of today after at least 20 hours of skiing the two past days and with aching legs and a pulled hamstring i got on perfect i was completely confortable and i knew i had it this time so i just winded my shoulders a little bit, jumped, and came down and landed perfectly. i claimed this shit out of it and skiied away switch down to the lift haha.  then i tried it again my next run and slid out and added a brand new gouge to one of my skis....

morale of the story: there isnt one

+++vibes hopefully you get it

Smoke weed and listen to music, when i was like 13-14 i got hella high for one of my first times at my local ski resort then chilled in the park all day. I actualy spun a cork 5 and stomped it, first try. well i wasnt rreally trying a cork 5 it was more of me just being hella high and hella stoked to be skiing and all my friends just kept pumping me up to do something crazy so i just threw my self with a decent amount of speed and stayed tucked through the whole rotation. Second try i wrecked myself on a cork 3 type thing tho. lesson of the story do drugs and listen to rap music and you will progress in skiing

i believe the great shane mcconkey suggested rubbing one out before you go skiing, so you are less likely to get all worried about protecting your nuts.

Ah good to hear, I was pretty worried about you last night haha

Anyway, as far as two-sevs, I don't know if you are trying to go FS or BS, but either way, set your spin with your front ski (tip down for BS, tail down for FS) and with your head/shoulders.  Should help a lot.  Keep looking until you hit the ground, regarless of what the spin ends up being.   And take a few falls to remind yourself it won't hurt too much to fuck up.

haha, thanks for being so concerned.

and yea im thinking of trying a FS because although my momentum would carry me to do a BS, for some reaosn when i land on rails and boxes the tail of my front ski naturally goes down.

hopefully i will be able to try this advice out tomorrow, my bro's freind is taking him skiing tomorrow and i want to see if i can maybe tag along...if his dad lets me.

i did the same thing when i was learning how to 270 out. i kept telling my self to try it and i couldnt. then one time i was on a rail with no  intention of trying one and i just did it. keep hitting a rail till your really comfortable on it and it will happen.

I think you'd be stuned how well "fuck it" works when tryin new stuff. Got me my first 3, 5, 7, 270, front back anything. They dont all go right the first time but if you keep havin a dig you'll get it eventually.

no thats the weird thing, thats how i usually try my new things, im just like "fuck it" then i drop in and hit the jump or rail. For some reason i just REALLY dont see my self getting enough momentum to come around.

also whats the dif between a bagel and a pretzel?

just convince yourself you can stomp it.  Then, well stomp it.  Last year I did a sketch 270 off, and the only reason I did it was because I had been doing lipside to switch all day, and while I was riding up to an up rail I was like damn Im gonna go for a 270 off.  So I just went for it.  Or you can just take a few laps and forget about it.  Than spur of the moment just give it a go.

PVC works pefectly, just as long as you dont ride on only your front edges. I havent caught an edge too too bad yet.

we're talking about 270ing OUT right? if so, thats weird, everyone ive ever met is like me in saying that its easier to lock on to the rail, and therefore to spin out (assuming you jump on regular, then spin out frontside).

Try pooping before you ski, it makes you lighter and allows you to rotate faster.

holy fuck its not that im scared i just cant get a good hold on the rail to push myself around, like i dont feel i have enough momentum. People like you are the biggest fags, they talk shit on the internet acting they can do everything perfect. Atleast im not scared to admit that i cant do something and ask for help instead of being a little bitch like you and just tallk down to people because they cant do something you can.

Just try it and see what happens. I can frontside 2 off easily but whenever I try blind I always come up 180 and die. But hey sometimes I get it and it feels good and builds confidence. So just say fuck it and try to get it around and even if you don't get it around the first time at least you know the feeling. And falling on snow doesnt really hurt that bad unless its like ice or something.

Hope that helped
