OK so i have rodeo 7s on lock, im really comfortable with them .Now i want to step it up and go for rodeos 9s but im not sure how,??
Second, switch 270 on to urban is so hard i just cant seem to keep it together and i never make the full 270 no matter how much time im in the air,and usually i land with the rail in between my legs (low rail ). what do i do?? (this is switch 270 coming from the skiers right side of the rail looking over my left shoulder spinning left)
 
this might be the hardest rail trick right now. its not like a regular rails where you just need to spin and land . you need to be patient before spinning and whip your skis around . come in a little faster then usual and pop has hard has you can, that is gonna give you a little more time in the air to spin the full 270 and spot the rail and land comfortably on the rail. you want to pop , bring your shoulders over your tails and when youre hight enouf whip your skis around and pass your shoulder to land 90 degrees on the railkind of hard to explain, hope you get the picture
 
you know what i really do get the picture haha, i realize now that i was trying to just jump and spin right away. so i have to go FAST, POP , get my tails over then make the last 180. i tried it again today and i got it once but i land sooo far down the rail. Will i eventually start getting it better and be able to not jump like half way down the rail ? or is it just the only way to do the trick? thanks a lot for the help man!!!
 
it will get better whit time as you get more comfortable doing the trick . there is not a lot of people that can do this trick , i only know a hand full . the more you pop the less speed you need = not landing at the end of the rail ... good job brew , let me see some footage!
 
as for making it a 9. go a little fast and a little bigger not to much. and when you get to 7 dont stop looking keep the rotation going
adding rotation is ez just set less flip and more spin.and dont get locked into spotting early this will slow your rotation . CCCR
