Rail spins mental block?

[AveragePete]

Living in southeast Michigan, our season is just beginning now. Naturally I’ve been trying to get last seasons tricks back on lock as fast as i can. but for a few days now I’ve been having trouble committing to front and blind 2s off. Anyone else ever experienced any mental block towards spinning rails? Tips to get past it? Thanks ns

definitely have this .. I can't blind 4, I always open up at 270 and do some weird shuffle bs.. /threads for tips

Going through the same thing too, front spins are fine but cannot get myself to spin blind. Got a nice concussion last year from a cannon when I caught my tips and haven't had the same confidence since. I'm just trying to get comfortable doing that on smaller rails and work my way back up.

Absolutely, I find it happens at the start of every new season. I don't think you can force it, just be patient and keep trying, it'll come back as you get more comfortable on your skis again.

When you manage to get your upper body and your legs to follow the rotations, the block will mostly go away. The reason a lot of people are stuck at 270 is because they use their arms to pull themselves around.

Getting good at spinning off little shit helps a ton. I couldn't 450 either way till I learned how to do 5s consistently

anyone have a hard time not doing their blind 2s/4s as blind swap to forward/bs to front 2? not a terrible problem to have since it still looks sick but its be cool to actually snap one around every once in a while

just work your way up from the smallest feature to the biggest. every single time you'll be doing the same thing when you're spinning out if you think about it

Your body will follow where your eyes are spotting and bring your shoulders through like you're punching something.

only block ive had with spins on rails is on donkey dicks. i still hate doing any 2's out of them.

I developed kind of a mind game about this from skating. Sometimes, you just have to decide that you are going to lock the trick no matter what and not care what happens after that. Sometimes you have to eat shit to get over your fear. If I was scared to hit a rail sometimes I needed a good bail to be like, whelp- that's the worst thing that's going to happen. Head games are difficult though, you get into patterns and develop fear of doing things differently. Everyone struggles with it at whatever level, good luck dude.
