Was trying them today on a rail with good speed and pretty high but I always spin a 2 out or almost 3 out? What do I need to change to get it smoothly? I tried to pretzel and after turn my head all around but I always stop at switch? Thanks +k

Agreed, it can't be a pretzel if it's the only trick (and jumping 90 degrees on the rail isn't one).

LOOK AROUND. Seriously, that's all there is to them. Set hard, dig hard, lead with your head looking for the landing. If you have trouble committing to that, visualize what your head will see when you look around, then you should get it next hit (worked for me). when you land your first one you will never be more stoked in your life.
