do your 90s and 180s while standing at one place but with ur skis on.if u can do that try it with slow speed and then speed up, try it at small jumps and so on

wtf? how can you like jibbing if you dont even know how to "turn 90 onto a rail?"

im sure he knows how to turn 90 degrees onto a rail. he probably means how much should he pop, how doesn't he get a ski caught, where should he align himself to the rail?

I'm sorta in the same boat as this guy, a little farther along. I just started jibbing and spins this year. Just keep practicing, ride switch a lot it will help you get used to the feeling and become more comfortable. As far as spins just do 180s off small things, they aren't really hard just do like 2 or 3 and you will get em almsot every time after that. Try to do 3's of smaller jumps then bring em into the bigger stuff. A lot of boxes will be easier than rails so you could try to start on those.

approach the rail (not too slowly, its more crisp if you go fast), pop off the kicker and turn a full 90 degrees so that your skis are perpendicular to the rail, keep your knees bent and hands up while looking at the very end of the rail, youll slide the whole thing then just jump off...just build a setup in your backyard and practice whenever you can, itll become second nature.

no need to turn 90. just pop a ton and land with the rail in between your legs, and youll grase it guaranteed. best of luck

when ur approaching the rail just keep saying in your mind what your gonna do on the rail. oh and remember DON'T PUSS OUT!

When you are first doing a 180, you need to commit your whole body to rotate 180. Head, hips, legs, all at the same time. Do not try to keep looking downhill as you rotate, you will end up doing a 90. Know that you will be looking completing uphill when finishing the rotation. Practice in your boots once, then put on the skis and try it. Try it just standing there. Note that it will be easier with some speed and air. Once you get this you can start doing them however you want, but when learning I definately recommend rotating everything at once, and making sure you commit enough for your head to turn 180 as well.

biggest thing commit to the rail, dont go halfway. Turn the full 90 with no hesitation and stare at the end of the rail. Dont have all your weight on your backfoot like most people do when they first try rails. Feet shoulder width apart, not tight together. Go a decent speed, but not too fast. Theres really not that much to learning stuff except to try it. You're not going to learn from people telling you how. Just go try for an hour and you'll pick it up.

shut your mouth bitch! some people are intimidated by asking this question, and maybe he dosen't want people to know his true identity. so what? let him get the help he needs, and lay off. what does "no life" have to do with this too? you make no sense, and your post was out of place.
