Lip 2s on

I feel as if this is the only rail trick I have yet to master. Does anyone have any tips for me? I find myself clipping my tails a lot
 
Theyre a really blind trick, just kinda have to trust your spin and pick your knees up. The rail just kinda appears beneath your feet. Start with doing 3s off the takeoff to the side of the rail, keep getting closer until your noses are hitting it/youre starting to get over it. Then go faster with a little more angle
 
Not gonna lie lip 2s still scare me a bit most of the times I do them. Start with a smaller feature, pop super hard, and you should be fine.

honestly I think you'd be better off to find a smaller feature and just go for it. Your advice might be good for some people, but for others I think it's best to just fully commit right away rather than practice 3s.
 
Patience and pop is key here. If you're hitting your tails then you're not waiting till you're above the rail enough to start your spin.

I found that if you start doing lipslides with a little bit more exaggeration to the pop and a bit of a stall before you hit the rail it helps learn this trick. Also, doing lipslides by coming at the rail from a bit more of an angle and further away instead of straight on like you normally would. This will give you some more time and distance so you don't hit your tails.

Lastly...fully commit to this trick. It's a crappy one to catch on. My shoulder will vouch for that.
