Ok so I'm struggling with back 270s. I can do them every now and then with lip on but I am having trouble setting them. I can bring my head around but I am having some trouble setting and getting a solid pop. I can pop very well with front spins. Any tips will help but I unfortunately don't have any vid to watch me. Anything helps.

I had the same problem, my solution was to just start doing switch lip on blind 2 out. once you get the switch on its way easier to set a hard edge. once youre good at that you just do them normally and theyre lightwork. added benefit switch lip on blind 2 looks fuckin sick

I have almost the exact opposite problem. I can set it fine but can't turn my head and get the whole rotation I just get to 180 and topple over. Can anyone help??

for me, I always mess up if I don't turn my head and shoulders enough. I just make sure I dip my heels a bit when I pop that way I don't catch my edges. Just pretend like you are going to land switch and then just spot your landing. I learned back 2s first so they're easier for me. I think a lot of people have trouble because you can really set your skis with front spins and don't have as much edge control (atleast for me) with back spins

If you practice doing it on shorter rails or boxes almost like you're doing a three (using your whole body) with a box or rail in the middle it will become easier. Do them as much as possible and eventually start trying scissors with blind spins. Practice on any rail you feel very comfortable on. Set your arms and pop like you would on a three a little before you get to the end and it should come around.

Practice is everything, ski as much as possible and keep doing them even if you're falling and eventually it will become consistent.

Hope that helps! Good luck, and have fun with it.
