I used the search bar, but I don't even know, everything it says I've been doing.

I think I've tried at least 30times off this shotgun rail, no luck. I've got it around a few times, but I always land with my skis too wide, and in like a crooked wedge thing.

It's like a 2ft+ drop so I don't think its a height issue, I'm coming on right foot forward, and spinning off left again. I'm looking over my shoulder and all that.

Are my skis too close/far apart? Should I hop off later/sooner? I'm just assuming I'm doing something wrong with my stance since 30times just seems rediculous.
 
whenever i do them i almost start spinning on the rail a little so that i am starting to face up hill. then i just make sure i pop enough and if your looking over your shoulder and are comfortable with spinning i dont know what the problem would be
 
since you go on right foot forward and spin off left, you should try to spin off right, that way you can see your landing the whole time.
 
i like pop and look at the rail under me...while my legs are sucked up and then when i see i have the 270..i put down my legs....for pretsels i do a 180 and shify my legs to do the 270 and that keeps me from spinning

dont think about the spin so much. think more about which direction you want to land. so like your doing them blindside so just think about spinning left and landing going forward not 270 dgrees of rotation. also be solid on the rail and get a good pop off.
 
Try starting the spin on the rail and poping right after. I mean a fraction of a second later pretty much pop as you're finishing seting the spin
