Blind switchup to blind 2 out is one of the cleanest looking rail tricks out. been tryin these out for a awhile and almost always end up going into continuing 2 out instead. A few times i've gone blind to switch out but it didn't feel smooth at all. Any tips for this trick appreciated.
 
Back swap back 2 is a Ray Charles and back swap front 2 is like a barani or something and do rails unnaturally and practice scissoring unnaturally on rails so it will be easier for the pretz 2 out
 
brah its a ray charles not a hellen keller, idk what a hellen keller is

throw your backswap really early and use your momentum from off the lip, once the backswap is already thrown, look up hill so you can stop your rotation, then make sure you lock on with your skis and pretzal to back 270 out

thats how i did it first but looking up hill looks ugly as fuck, its really clean and feels awesome when stomped
 
When I do it I land in a blind spin scissor and I look back up the rail (towards the takeoff) not at the end of the rail like normal, then you have to feel out the end of the rail (being used to the length of the rail helps) and pop off the end and spin. Setting the blind swap early and quick also really helps. I also got really comfortable with 2-on pretzel 2-off before getting good at blind swap blind 2, it helps you learn the motion of the spin you do during the blind swap blind2 but you're on the rail for longer so you have more time to set it.
 
A Hellen Keller is when you do that trick while listening to music so loud that you can't hear anything.
