Hello, I used to want to ski park when I was 13 but didn't have the balls to hit a rail until now at 21. Tried to slide yesterday and was able to 270 off by then end of the day (see attachment for bad skiing). I really want to keep skiing park because yesterday was one of those most fun days out I've had in a while. I'd rather retune my icelantic edges so I can skis those in the rest of the mountain. I've scraped the web for used park skis in my area and have come up dry, and cant afford new on a research stipend. Does anyone have advice for buying from someone at my local? I am considering hanging out at the top of the tow rope with a sign that says "sell me your clapped out vishnus and pivots" with my phone number. Anyways if you're in either the twin cities/madison/milwaukee/chicago area let me know I wanna buy. Also if you got tips for my 270 off let me know, I'm hoping to work it into a 360 off a jump.
 
If you tried to post a video it didn't work. A front 270 out won't translate well to a 360. It's more like a 180. A blind 2 will be more like your 360, but still not the same. Spins out of rails are different because you engage your edge with the rail to initiate the spin, which makes it easier to bring around.
