Alright so i can front 2 and 4 off of boxes and rails, and ive been trying to get blind stuff off rails recently but i just cant get myself to push my toe down instead of up when scissoring, and im already pretty much off the rail by the time i can even think about making myself do it. This happen to anyone?
 
Start just going to switch and shuffling the rotation around to get comfortable with it. Make sure you look where you're rotating. More than anything it just takes practice and patience.
 
i only bring the blind 2 off around every couple attempts but when i do do it i don’t really think about scissoring as much as for the front 2 but rather bringing my skis closer together as i’m coming off of the rail and doing a little hop off to help my tips clear
 
To get more comfortable with that toe push, slide the rail unnatty and do unnatty front 2's. Same thing, different direction. It will be weird at first, but just keep at it
 
It’s not about putting your toe down, it’s about picking your heel up.

Regardless, the scissor is only one small component of the trick. All it does is posture your body and skis into a position that makes the trick easier. Popping off the rail into a solid rotation is the most important component of the trick.
 
Work on ur blind 2s and get em down solid before thinking abt 4s, hit some small rails and think about it as at 360 on a rail. That’s what helped me

Had the same feedback. Find shorter features where you’re less focused on locking in on the rail and more thinking about just hitting it with some speed and spinning a 3 (first 90/150 of it being on the rail).

Also - wherever your uphill / back shoulder is moving is where your body will want to go. So think about that shoulder leading your spin (when you get to the end of the rail you should feel like you’re trying to spot the end of the rail / landing between the gap in your boots). Give’r a pop and let your momentum carry you around.

Try exaggerating your setup. Find a small rail that's comfortably non-nuttable. Hop onto the rail. Raise your arms and rotate your chest to face the end of the rail. Think of it like sitting in a spinning office chair. If you take your feet off the ground and spin your upper body one way, your lower body will naturally spin the other way. Your body knows how to balance the forces. Scissoring the rail will be what balances spinning your chest. Once your get this motion down, it'll just come down to the scissor itself. Once you get the scissor, bring your upper and lower body back in line but the scissor will prevent your legs from "balancing" your chest spinning - this what engages the blind spin. Do it lightly to start and it'll take you to switch. Do it harder and you'll be blind spinning for as long as you're in the air. Best of luck and have fun homie.

a thing that helped me a lot with blind2 and fours was leading with the head. starting the rotation and already looking behind, really helps out
