Simple rail we hiked for like an hour.
CeleryFor the rails, try looking at the end of the rail. For the spins, just keep looking over your shoulder.
NikolaB73as far as the rails go, everyone is leaning over to the left. The guy with the black/red jacket came at a super harsh angle and left the rail super quickly. Try mountain the rail a bit closer to it and at less of an angle, its' balance from there.
Your 360s are pretty solid, you just need to practice them. On the other side of the spectrum, your brother. He winds up the wrong way so his entire upper body is counteracting the spin which is why he cant get past 180.
Hope this helps. I've only been freestyling for 2 years, and that's what I can catch.

My brother he struggles. He used to only 180 and wants to do 3’s. But he literally just stops rotating. I think he may spin the wrong way or have muscle memory and not keep looking and bad form etc help him
JAHnYeah, someone already said this but he is winding the wrong way. Upper body is already twisted to the right before takeoff so he can’t create any torque. That’s the first thing to fix.
Some other tips…he should focus on setting with the lower body. Since he spins right, he should be pushing off his left inside edge on the set. Keep looking over the shoulder. Literally lock the chin to the right shoulder the whole time. Goodluck.
JAHnTry landing on the rail both feet at the same time and then use your front foot to scissor or press onto the rail to lock on. Watch for this specifically in videos of good rail skiers, you’ll see what I mean.
You’re already falling off the back side of the rail before your front foot lands. No chance to lock.
Also, slightly less angle on the approach might help. Speed is generally good but on a feature that short, feel free to slow it down to focus on locking on.

ColoradoSkiI need some help. So I always land really far forward when hitting cliffs and eject. I did the same on both of these hits where I like popped forward maybe and then landed to far forward. Idk what I’m doing wrong cuz if I don’t go forward I sometimes backslap and it catches my arms and I go forward and my arms go back and it hurts so much.
imma reply with the videos. I’ll put one of
my flat drop 3’s I landed and then the two I crashed on
EBrookskiin your profile it says you can do rodeos and misty 5s, do you have a video of one of those, not doubting you, just a little skeptical after seeing some of the threes (might have been one of your friends)
TreegrabberMight be wrong but I think I remember him saying he can do those on tramp

ColoradoSkiI can do them very consistently on tramp. And will take them to snow hopefully soon but the snow and traffic has been terrible. So idk when that will be. But regardless why does that matter rn? And wdym one of my friends and what makes you skeptical. I can do bigger tricks way better than I can spin so just these 3’s don’t show much.
EBrookskiThe way you were falling on 3s off of like 5 foot drops makes me skeptical of you doing flips. Also what does "I can do bigger tricks way better than I can spin" mean.
ColoradoSkiThe reason I was falling as i got help was I was popping to far forward and then landed forward instead but instead it doesn’t need to be more centered idk if that makes sense. Like pop up instead of up and forward. A backflip is a lot easier than a 3. That a bigger trick. I would also say rodeos are easier less wind up and all that. It could just be me and what I do more. But still why does it matter what I put in my best tricks. Why is that such a big deal
EBrookskinot big deal, but backflips easer than 3s? i can three flat idk one person that can backflip flat i can 900 off of park jumps under 20 feet long , backflips are kinda hard on those jumps as you have to huck as hard as possible
