Rely more so on jumping and spinning of the rail.

As soon as you pedal your front for hop up to you don't hit the rail with your tails and it helps to almost dip your noses down a bit so when u jump try and bring your heels up.

He beat me to it but the man himself deserves to post his credit :). This video is super good so defiently watch this. What helped me a lot was the whole fact of committing and really leading with my head. Make sure to pop and turn your head and shoulders .

I just stomped my first 2 out yesterday, they are really fun. My problems were that I hit my tails so like they said before try to dip your tips, and I also would pedal to soon so I would slip out so try to to pedal to early. And it's more in the spin so try to just spin really hard.

didn't read the other posts but keep in mind that you don't need to worry about your skis getting exactly 270 degrees around. scissor and spin out and turn your body, your skis will find their place. same with 450s, which was surprising to me when i learned them

Use the inside edge of your forward foot to help you grip and spin, throw your arms and turn your head

Repetition is the fastest way to gain experience and confidence with any trick out there. Just try to 2 out everything or hike and you'll get it in no time.

Are you spotting the end of the rail? That was my problem. And always look when you spin. Don't just focus on pretzing.. Remember to look with your head when you 2 out. It helps a ton

I would start with front 270s first they came easier first for me. Watch the end of the rail and start scissoring early and look over you shoulder. front foot put pressure on your heal, and back foot on your toe an look over your shoulder.

One thing that I had a lot of trouble realizing was a problem was keeping my body low and my knees bent. Don't be a boner on the rail or it becomes really difficult to scissor. Bend your knees, stick your butt out, scissor your front ski, and it should come around no problem.
