You need to pretzel to stop your rotation from continuing. Obviously easier said than done but to get there; get comfortable sliding rails your unnatural way (assuming left foot forward is unnatural for you) and then blind 2’s your unnatural way, that should help things along

work on/ lock in your 3s so you have full visibility of the landing before coming down
then try these
I looked at the vid and u are looking at your back foott as you land on the rail,

Also I noticed you looked forward right away and shifted your arms to continue rotating. As mentioned above you'll need to scisor as well - might help practicing the feeling of scissoring on snow before hand. Just spin a 270 on flat and raise your left ski to push yourself back to switch.

Another good way to practice scissoring could be on a bswap to switch or bswap b2

When u say lock in your 3s are you saying just a regular 360 or are you talking about the 270 on?

regular 360s
from the video it looks like you probably twist your torso around to make the full rotation
right?

So are you saying that I need to bring my torso around at the same time as my legs?

Yeah if you hit pause youll notice he is literally still looking down hill all twisted up behind his lower body when his feet hit the rail and then his upoer body whips around way too late and it forces the rotation to continue.

It can be 2 moves. I think candide and sammy tend to get tips over looking downhill first. Probably a million other people too. But the main thing is that you land on the rail already set up for your next move.

If you get fast enough on a shorter rail you can just jump on jump off. No need to grip and stabilize for too long

Started on boxes worked up from there, find them easier to slow the rotation and it gives slightly extra time.

I can do it a little better on shorter rails, but I'd like to get em down on long rails
