So i was trying to learn how to 270 off a box rail at the snowdome yesterday but it just wasnt happening. Have you got any tips on how to do it? thanks
 
if youre doing it on a box you have to kind of get the spin going by using the edge of youre ski against the edge of the box. Look at tom wallisch superunknown video and youll know what i mean. So frontside 270 off you kind of lift the nose of the ski and blindside 270 off you lift the tail...hard to explain but hope this helped...
 
if you are trying to straight slide to 270 off, which i guess you are.. its pretty easy.. as you reach the end of the rail/box.. lift the weight off your toes on your leading foot.. this should start the spin.. then pop off and look round 270 until you see the rail again.. your skis will follow your head.. that should do it..
 
try spinning out a bit towards the side. like if you slide right foot forward and want to fs 270 out spin toward the right of the rail itll be easier at first. itll look gay at first but once you get used to it you can make it look nice
 
its pretty easy just when you get just before the end of the rail you want to feel ur front foot grip the rail and spin to ur right if u slide right foot first and left if you slide left foot first. thats pretzle and i think it is alot easier becuase you can set your spin alot harder. and dont forget use ur torso to set the spin. hope that helps its kinda hard to explain.
 
grip the rail with front or back ski depending on which way your spinning, then push off and pop.
