I know your shoulders should be facing somewhat downhill while hitting rails but how much and what about your arms. Also what about while doing spins off? Discuss
shoulders should be in line with the rail, square your shoulders downhill and youll come off early to the frontside. if youre trying to pretzel then keep your shoulders facing down/up hill.

think of the gorilla steeze stance to get used to it, it will exaggerate the proper safe form you want to be in for a rail. lean forward, wide shoulders with arms wide and a little in front of you. i don't think your arms should be too squared up with downhilll direction, certainly some but i think a problem a lot of beginners have is they don't commit to being completely perpendicular to the rail and slide off. def keep your head turned tho and eyes on the end of the rail. your torso should be leaned forward too
Keep your shoulders, hips, and arms perpendicular to the rail. It'll help you stay on. Once you turn your shoulders your whole body follows so if you turn down the hill you'll come off early.
I can only 2 out but i usually keep my body square and use my arms to throw the spin.
there really is no right or wrong way. let your style come by itself. because the way you put your arms help to shape your style. but nobody likes penguins and nobody likes window rollers, so be gentle.
Its not really worth making a thread so I'm Just gonna ask here.
Up rails. I was trying them 2 years ago and either slipped out or caught my front edge every time. Our park didn't have any set up last year but this year I wanna work on them without killing myself. Any tips?

distribute your weight evenly and let the rail launch you
hm im having a hard time imagining what is good advice for an up rail. id say treat them like a flat rail but the correct speed is more important, as is a quicker pop/90 in. after that, just keep your legs and core flexed so you don't get fall into the rail. i wouldnt do up rails unless youre very proficient at other more basic rails
