I've been trying them for the last couple days and I just can't seem to stay on the rail. I get the rotation but cannot stay on. Help?

They're hard but it really depends how high the rail is. Play around with the angle you go into the rail at and how far from the rail you are. Urban sw 2s are hard on a park rail. Urban sw 2s on an actual urban rail might kill you.

I've never heard of an urban 270 before. How do you do it?

I learned them this weekend on a flat bar, I find them relatively easy as you spin on naturally and you can look at the end of the rail the whole time then you land naturally on the rail. I find that if you under rotate the 270 just a little you can finish the spin on the rail and not have much spinning momentum. I don't have any experience with urban rails but make sure you have them down well on normal rails

But also very real, I don't understand why parks have rails a foot above the jump. Maybe more of a challenge but I don't really understand

It makes it a hell of a lot easier to lock into rails. Much harder for doing sw 2 on but if you're doing regular on it makes landing on the rail a little softer and much easier to slide to the end. I can't do a 270 on consistently if the rail is a ride on.
