So during the ski season I could do them of a few up blunt tubes. Also off a rail or two. Now when i try them on my summer set up, i can only rotate 180 frontside. I can't get the full 2sev. Any tips.

you have to fart right when you pop off the rail

turn your shoulders, look, and pop. Also scissor really hard

No, hardly any scissoring is needed for a front 270 out. Just make sure jump up before you start spinning and you'll get it.

This might be what I did wrong! I always start spinning on the rail. I'll let you know in an hour.

when i 270 out on anything i wind up my shoulder before i get off the rail so it kind of looks like a sexy shifty off or something.

i find they are the easiest on metal rails because you can dig your edge in way better and you have to just pop a little bit harder on pvc

PVC will also be a bit harder because generally they are a little lower off the ground and you don't have as much speed.

when your on the rail make sure your comfortable and set up well. Do this by digging in your front skis edge and start to move your body forwards and get ready to jump. At the end of the rail you just need to pop and swing the tips of your skis around to the opposite side of the rail. stomp it.

Let me guess, you started skiing park last year?
Always scissor, using your edges effectively and smoothly pretty much defines a good rail skier.

when people say this i have no idea what they mean, my heel and toe naturally dip on blinds and on fronts, then the rotation comes. my advice to you is to not force the toe so much and just set the spin with your whole body.

Scissor your front ski and pop off the end. Rotate your whole body and stomp.
