270 on help

More patience. you initiate the spin way too early, your skis are almost sideways as youre going off the lip. Go straighter, be more patient, and trust that when you throw the spin it will put you on the rail

its pretty decent tho, just keep doing them and try with a lil more speed. You'll get more comfy with the spin

more speed and slow down everything else. you're hucking your body way too hard to get that rotation around. Also you're taking a super extreme angle into the rail, it almost looks like you're spinning a 180 rather than 270. Practice flat ground 270's to get comfortable with the rotation and practice on a flat box or tube if your park has it.

Overall its not bad though.

good start, try and keep your skis parallel while on the snow. Focus on a good pop and pick your knees/ tips up once you hit 90 degrees. I like to try and keep my eyes on the front of the rail until I land on it, then quickly switch to looking at the end of it.

the hardest part is sacking up to try it the first few times, you have a pretty good start just need to get reps in to perfect it.

as with so many rail tricks-- pick your knees up!

that gives you more time and control to bring your feet back down where you want them and you won't have to huck the spin so much

you're well on your way though man you'll be looking great in no time keep it up

Lots of advice here already. Most important part is pick your knees up. The other thing you will notice others do who are comfortable with the trick...

You want to pop off of your tails. Let the lip do work for you. When you pull off your tails, it allows your noses to clear the rail more efficiently, at which point you can just pick your knees up and pull it around.

1:48 playback in half speed. You can see how my upper body pulls first as I let my skis come off the lip until I'm on my tails, and then I pull it around. I didn't have to pick my knees up in this clip too much since it's a tiny box, but it's an illustration of how I think of it.
