270 off rails- how?

So i've finally started doing rails harder than straight ones so i decided to start trying 270 off on the ones i get all the time now.

But when i tried, i didnt know if i actually had to pop, or let myself 'slide' off if you know what i mean... I always found myself going too backwards like when i was starting my first 360s a few years ago(now i can do them).

Any help?

slide off, near the end of the rail just start to drop your right shoulder (spin right off !!! its way easier even if you spin left)and it comes pretty naturally.

when you get to the last 3 or so feet of the rail, slide your back foot into your front foot and look straight down at the rail, the biggest thing is commitment, its a pretty scary thing to do, but it works, scouts honor

its all in the head, and popping off the rail. more so bring your feet off the rail than popping

its the kinda thing you just suddenly get. once you do get it, it couldnt be easier, but actually getting it takes a while

I learned blindside (learned it that way cause it was a natty spin for me).. so I'd suggest learning it that way.

Hopefully by the time you've read this, you've figured both ways off.

270 ons i find harder because you are landing blind almost. i tried it once back in feb and fell and my shoulder hasnt been the same. and i like 'uhhno''s advice to spin when you are on the rail. if the rail is long the poor kid is going to nutt himself

pretty easy once you get the hang of it. i think its easier to rotate towards downhill no matter which way you would spin naturally. near the end of the rail you can kindof cheat by letting yourself slide so you are facing more downhill than 90 then give'er a little pop and rotate it like a 180

i would add not to get too excited before you get to the end of the rail first time or you will nut it and run home crying to your momma. relax and then pop at the END of the rail.

you know what i mean by excited? basically don't think too much just act.

When I first learned them I realized they were easier if I turned my back foot a little so that they were slightly in a upside down V and that helped me get the full 270. And make sure you turn your head right away and keep lookin'.

THIS IS HOW THE PROS LEARNED HOW TO SPIN OFF RAILS!!!

right as you come on the rail, turn ever so slowly 90 degress, whichever way you spin the easiest. as you fall closer to the rail try to notice the crunchin/popping sounds because that is your testicles bursting in many places. once you feel the internal goo of your gems dripping down what is left of your sac, you are most likly off the rail and free to do a 270. once you got the spin around, you will feel a sensation of your body being thrusted against the ground, dont be scared this is expeted of your edges to act like this seeing they just dug into the snow. now this is the most important part, lay there crying and try to remember what it was like to have the power to make a family.
GOOD LUCK!


Why don't you take a long walk on a short peir.

damn, y do ppl always ask dumb shit about spinning. Its not hard. Jump before the end and spin. Frontside is easier the first time.
