spread your legs and once you touch down, get low and pretzel a little. that should help. Also commit and try a 180 on and spin then move your way up.

Don't look at your feet.
You don't need to set for a 9 to get a 270 on stay relaxed and set the spin easy. Stay forward don't lean back and look at the end of the rail not at your feet cause you will end up slipping out if you look at your feet to much.

If you're talking about a street style down rail or box... Approach with a wide stance and speed, and then pop up. Don't worry about getting the spin around super fast, as it will come. In the air, spot your estimated landing area on the feature, and make sure to keep your knees bent. When you land, let your legs compress with the rail, locking yourself down. There ya got it!

i learned a 270 onto a matress box (about 2ft wide and really low to the ground) because i was scared i wouldn't be able to line it up properly. ive only just moved to doing it onto narrower boxes. is it hard to 270 onto a rail or a thin FD box?

I find it helps to spot your landing like you would for a 360, only look for your landing at 180. The less time you are blind in the air the more stable you will be. Try to land with as little impact as possible, and spread your legs out. Then look at the end of the rail. (Helps you stay on the rail/box.)

haha thanks dude ive been having problems with my 2 ons for like 3 years now and this finally got me to get them. Definitly the way i just learned mine was to think of the poping on part as a 180 so jump your body 180 in the air over the rail and spot it and when your spotted and over the rail perfect finish the rotation. I stomped mine like 2nd try today. stoked

Just keep your head down on the rail so you can spot your landing... Then repition is key to becoming consistent at it.

I come at it a little from the side and just lead with my head and spot the rail at about a 230, the best thing is just to practice

do a 180 onto a box, I can guarantee that you'll be able to get a 270 around when you realize how close it is. Or at least that how it worked for me...
