when your first learning them down go all the way 270 (assuming your doing 2pretzle2) just the rotation and end up facing the jump of the rail or box, then grip it by dipping your tip and bending your knee a little then glance at the end of the box/rail, this will help you wind up to spin off the other way. as you start to get them you can start doing more legitimate pretzles but its a good way to start.

its all about digging your edge in when you land on the rail so you can set your spin out the other way

i think blindsides are easier, because when i 270 out, i usually go blindside out..

just try doing 270's a lot earlier than the end of the rail.. thats how i learned

so basically your saying the easiest way is to 270 on then blind side pretzel to set your spin??? instead of just getting on then pretzeling front-side to set your spin ???

i think blindside 270 outs are harder because my tips always hit the side of the rail.

switch 270 on pretzel fs 2 out is probably the easiest. 2 on sw up pretzel 2 is also pretty easy. basically fs is easier than bs. bs make sure your gripping the edge with the toes of your front foot, spot the end of the rail, then set your spin back up hill. fs is easy, just keep looking at the landing,
