I haven’t hit rails in a while but today I learned front 2 any tips to improve here’s my attempts from today

Don’t rotate to early and do a half surface swap like you are doing now. Wait until the end of the rail then pop hard off it and spin. You got the basics now, you just need to get the timing right.

Thanks my friend was saying that
 
Looks nice for a first. Nothing wrong with the technique. Get the reps in and eventually they will look dope. Go for all the four 270's off as early as possible! Having them helps very much in many different little things in your overall skiing.
 
Another thing is it kinda looked like you weren’t rotating as much with your head and arms. Keep looking the way you want to spin until you find your landing keeping your head up and punch with your arms.

good stuff though!
 
pick up your knees! always good advice on rail tricks. see how straight your legs are as you spin the 270? pick em up a little and you'll benefit
 
Looks pretty good. Right after you set the front two and start to rotate, pick up your front heel and it will never catch on the rail. Same goes for front swaps, front 4's etc.

When you land, look uphill for a moment but quickly pivot your head around and stagger the feet for a switch ride away looking over the right shoulder. Work on doing this in one fluid motion for the best style. Watch videos of good riders landing switch and you'll see what I mean. The landing is as important as the trick if you want good style.
