Anyone got any tips for someone who wants to improve their skills on rails, mainly in the technical department? I know i never really had anyone to coach me and i would appreciate some pointers that might help. Anyone else got anything they want tips for, fire away.

You should probably state what your level is, what tricks you are looking to learn etc. And what do you mean by pro tips?

yeh i realise that OP was pretty open ended. i spose things like 270's on are what i'm most concerned with. Like how the fuck do you go about the first 270 on? just nut up and go for it? and pro tips is just a dumb way of saying "tips", it's supposed to be kindof funny

Buddy, you just have to get out there and get her done. not chat about it in forums. go set up a back yard rail and give it hell.

umm just set it like a 360 i guess. when you land try to land with your legs wider it stop yourself spinning. but you really gotta jus learn it yourself

i first did it on a low and wide flat box, just spin onto it like a crazy man, if you land 180,270 or 360 on it, ti doesn't matter, then try getting down 270s consistent and immediately taking a wide scissored stance to stop rotating any further on the box....

still haven't done 270 on a real rail, but i got em down on boxes and i can imagine this is the easiest way to learn em without having to risk your balls too much...

kids gotta start somewhere, and do not tell me you weren't a little bit afraid of the first time you tried to 270 on a rail...

and to the op be sure to angle your body towards the rail and not just straight (I did this when i was learning) and be sure to POP and not just huck, and you'll get it
