I don't understand how to blindside 270 off. I still somehow manage to hit my skis to pipe/rail. I pop as hard as I can.

jump earlier an lift your tips and it should be/feel like a blindside surface but since the rail is ending you're doing a blindside 270 of

i'd say scissor hard, pull your shoulders around and pop hard. falling off the rail looks like you don't really know what you're doing put popping off gives you more control

Never ride off the end of a rail. Pop off BEFORE you come to the end. I always remind myself that I should CHOOSE when to get off, not just flop off into the snow. (Works for masturbation as well...go figure.)

And keep your stomach tight.

I had the same problem. You are popping hard and twisting your feet like you are doing an oldschool twister. It's kind of like trying to throw a 3 by just twisting your feet.

This is what worked for me. Start rotating your shoulders until your chest is pointed to the top of the rail and then pop. Basically, you need to start rotating before your feet leave the rail. Hope that helps.

Use much shorter poles, and get baggier pants and a taller jacket/hoodie.

Other than clothes, try to not lift your hands up when you hit the feature. I used to do this a lot (I'm basically at the same level as you when it comes to rails I'm a beginner to) but I try to perfect one thing at a time so it is as smooth as possible. Other than that thats a sick little setup you have and good luck.

Yeah, you aren't really that bad, but I think you need to work on your smoothness or style.

Make sure you have everything down before moving on to the next trick.

Congrats Arthur. I'm hoping to get 270 offs and switch 270 on before the end of the season. Need to step my rail game up!

Surprised no one has said it, but LEAN TOWARD THE END OF THE RAIL.

And to the guy ^^, to get 270 on just start with a 180 onto a super small ride-on box. then just add the extra 90 degrees and its will be easy from there. I was screwing around one night and now i can do them both ways onto rails.
