twist your neck so fast after you pop that it snaps, gets it everytime.

Just figured out 270's on today. Get more speed than you think, it helps. Throw your arms and hands hard in the direction you're spinning, and follow them with your shoulders. Suck your knees in as will, I found this was extremely helpful. Good luck brotha!

careful with this. bent knees = toes pointed downward = skis pointed downward = possibly catching on the rail

Seriously tighten your boots as much as you can.... no joke

For the longest time I could barely pop 90 since my legs swam around in my boots, now after cranking them really tight I can pop 270.

Keep looking to where you want to go. If you want to keep spinning, keep looking over your shoulder. At least for me, as soon as I start looking at the landing I stop rotating
