i got blind 2s and front 2s down so the first trick I wanna try this season is a blind 4 considering blind 2s came easier to me than front. Ive tried them before but cant get the rotation all the way around. How can I get it all the way around?

keep looking over your shoulder? grip harder? find a canon rail or a rail with a big enough drop? believe in yourself?

Do you have full tilts?



lol
In all seriousness, try keeping your arms in, and make sure that you grip the rail, then SPIN as hard as you can. Also, maybe a higher rail could help. From what I can observe from videos, tube rails seem to be better for spins.

And hey, maybe your just not ready yet for them. Good luck!

Id recommend a short rail that you can get a lot of hang time of off. Think abut starting a 540 on the transition of the rail, get on the rail and then look and spot as you would a 5. Also, stand up straight when you are in the air. The first few might not look so good, but it will help you get them around.

alright yo, you gotta get a good stance and start turning your head before the end and grip however much you want and get into a blunt and pop, dont worry about them legs theyll come around then you can unwind however you wanna bang out

they came easy to me but when i tried them the other foot forward i had some troubles, the best tip i can give you is to do lots of 540s that direction and lots of blind 2s then just find a rail with good airtime, grip, and commit to it. if you have your 540 that direction dialed it should come relatively easy. its easy to stop spinning when you facing forward, don't do this. its not a 270+180 its a 450, set it to spin it and win it.
