270 off help... catching my tail

[Wis_Skier_23]

ok so i need some help with my 270 outs, i can do them most of the time but when i try and spin off of the rail (sliding left foot forward and spinning to the left) i seem to catch my back edge on the end of the rail maybe im not going fast enough to clear the end but i could use some help

 

[skiwoj]

make sure you get a decent amount of pop off of the rail, and try going a little faster

 

[1080ski]

try and pop off of the rail and not just ride off. i donno, maybe it will help you spin and your skis will be above the rail. you could also be spinning off too early and not riding it till the end

 

[tjski]

yup, either pop higher or more speed.

 

[willbski9]

Go faster, also make sure your not spinning to early, make sure your at the very end of the rail before you pop to spin.

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

just let your natural turning/spinning direction take you off you can usually slide out to about 90 and then pull around to forward

 

[quixotic]

Speed is key and wait til you get to the end of the rail, then pop and set the rotation.

 

[FUUUCK]

youre likely spinning too early

 

[dweezileast]

keep in mind that your feet will always follow your head. You don't necessarily have to pop that much, and often, you can spin a 270 out without your skis leaving the rail, just rotating on the surface

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

oh yeah and hike the same rail over and over again don't lap the park

 

[InfernoHits]

make sure you knees are bent and you pop pretty hard, once you get it a few times it becomes 2nd nature

 

[dweezileast]

yes and no. a lot of times when i just hike the same thing, i syke myself out. If you take full laps, you can think about other things

 

[-NY-STeeZE-]

yeah i agree, i used to have the same problem

 

[thenakedcellist]

pop and go a little faster.

 

[espen^R]

catching your back edge ? how is that possible on fs 270s ? anyways, just do as the guys above wrote and youll be fine

 

[-+Siver+-]

just pop and maybe more speed

 

[StanMcStanson]

he slides left foot forward like i do so fs 270 its easy to catch your tail edge

 

[trailjunkie1]

good way to think of the pop, is to imagine your going to do a switch up on the rail, but just off the end. speed with this helps a lil bit too
