Hi, I can do flat rails and just learned how to do down rails. On flat rails I can 90 off that really isn't anything but yeah. How do you spin off rails like I see people do 270's off and things, can you explain how.

OK so the biggest thing to remember is to be lesbian and scissor the fuck out of the rail this will set you up to front 2 pretty easly. Spinning out is all about the set up and applying edge pressure. You don't necessarily need to look at it as a a huge jump and spin. The edge pressure will lead to a natural smooth rotation.
