i just learned them so im still trying to get better at them but one thing i noticed is that it helped to keep my head looking at the end of the feature just like i would for a straight slide, seems easy to do but i feel like when i cant get them around its because i have a tendency to look at my skis and watch my feet set the spin if that makes sense so in sub consciously doing this it prevented my head and upper body from leading the spin and you dont want to do that because the key is to have your upper body lead the spin. So just remember to keep your head looking at the end of the feature and sort of letting you skis pedal on the feature without looking straight down at them, and another thing i try to do is use my trailing arm in this case itd be my right arm because i slide left foot forward to wind up a bit and when im about to pop off the rail which is also a pretty big key to this trick and any spin off a rail for that matter, i whip my trailing arm around while popping and scissoring to help my upper body set the trick. Hope you end up getting it dude. another thing that might help is to think of it sort of like you scissor your feet and at the end of the rail set it into a 5050 almost and then just pop a 360 out of the end, then when you get better you can just do it in one fluid motion. Youll notice that if you slow down videos most people are in the 5050 slide towards the end of the rail when they are spinning but it happens so quickly it isnt noticable if that makes and sense at all?
