270 off?

[skibearcreek3]

this is my first year freestyle skiing and i just learned to 360 and almost 540. My next thing will be to 270 off rails. I have kind of tried it before but i like only get to the backside and only end up landing backside... ?

 

[tribefan226]

my 1st year too and i can only do 270s off if i hit the rail switch cuz i guess it gets me going the right way. maybe u could try that

almost the easyist thing ever

like u got frontside and blindside, if you spin left blindside is gunna be left and frontside to the right for obvious resons. for frontside 270 out i find if i kinda tilt my right ski a lil before comin off that helps a bunch to push off of the rail and for blindside on a box u can kinda get ur momentum workin for u and keep spinning but on a rail try jumpin on and keep your shoulder closed and a little behind you so you can pop and just look for your landing

 

[Billek]

For blindside, you should try to put just a little spin on, not too much, you still want to stay locked on. When you reach the end (be patient and wait for it you dont want to pop off too early) keep your momentum flowing and look uphill...LOOK UPHILL, for me this is the easiest way to do it, you cant look against your rotation. Then pop off and spin it around, looking uphill should have set you up perfectly.

...something like that.

u guys all rock thx a lot i finally got one last night!!

i learned how to pretsel 270 before bliindside..

 

[nitsua]

noice man. keep doign it over and over and over again. then you can get it off almost anythng

 

[crunkasfuck]

ya you just got to commit!

 

[Jake...]

good stuff man. now try front side, or if you did front side try backside

 

[JaySkier107]

make sure your rail is high enough to easily spin off.

then make sure that you get all the way to the end of the rail with good balance.

Then its easy

 

[DaveM]

if u hit it swich u should get it

 

[skibearcreek3]

i have never tried getting on a rail switch before

 

[ECfreeski3]

^ definitely give it a try but on a tiny rail with a huge lip in case you puss out first try

 

[mkotten]

my problem is that i can't jump off the rail. any tips? im doing it off an about 1.5 foot high box, should that be high enough?

 

[skiwoj]

wow, all this good advice, i think im gonna try some tomorow

 

[ECfreeski3]

actually 270 out is easier on a rail than a box. i promise! do it on a normal height rail with a landing youre not scared to fall on. just get locked on andyoull have it.. its much harder to lock onto a box than a rail, which makes your momentum hurt your chances of getting a fs 270 out

dude for first year riding park thats pretty sick. i wish i couldve said the same for my first year in the park. shit, im still workin on 5s.

 

[Peter.]
