ok i have a couple ?'s

first, i spin to the right to get on the rail, but i spin faster left. After i jump on, how do i stop my rotation, and spin the other way?

Pretzels? how to do em?

270 on? and hints?

++ Karma for legit help
 
by spin faster left that would mean you slide right foot forward right?

Try to stop the spin before you hit the rail, practice popping off the end and spinning to the ground.

Not much experience with pretzels or 270s on.
 
let me clarify... if doing a jump or whatnot, i am more comfortable spinning left than right... but to get on a rail i spin right, and grind with right foot forward
 
when you pop on look at the end of the rail and stop yourself from turning your head and shoulders whcih will make you slide off grip the rail to set for spins off
 
when you wanna do a front switchup you really dig that front edge into the rail, kinda pushing that front heel down into the ground. be patient with it though make sure you get on and lock on full 90 degrees before gripping the rail like that or else you wont be able to change your momentum.
 
get a long box to pretzel on and if its like 2 feet wide(270s can be scary onto rails) try to get your toes on the edge of the box to scissor and spin out. At least thats how I learned them.
 
i spin right onto rails but spin left in air, i think your trying to say that you slide left foot forward, or you would always be doing 270 on to rails, unless thats what your asking about
 
yeah, find a long box.

you will learn 270's on much easier, but your 270's out will be harder.

but if you can get them off of boxes, then you should have no problem doing them off rails after you deal with the nerves.
