Im trying to learn 270s out of rails and i hear front 2 out is easier but back 2 out is easy too because you spin the way you come on the rail. Which way do u guys recommend learning first and whats easier?

which way do you like spinning, and which foot do you have in front when you hit rails?

generally, people who slide left foot forward find it easier to learn front 2s out first, and right foot forward people seem to prefer blind 2 out first

but just try whatever seems natural to you. hell, try both, youll see neither are a big deal. have fun good luck

front 2s are easier, but I learned blinds first with the same logic as you that it would be easier to keep spinning the same way.

doesn't matter which one you learn first. if you are comfortable hitting rails you should be able to learn both in a day if you hike for a while.

Check this video out. As a beginner, understanding this is super helpful.

One of the first things I ever heard when I was learning park skiing was "front 2 is easier, blind 2 is steezier" I learned front 2 first and didn't get blind 2s until the next year since nobody ever told me that scissoring was a thing. Just play around with dropping your leading heel (front 2) or toe (blind 2), blind 2s will only come around if you turn your head the way you want to spin, think of it like a 360.
