Hey everyone,

i've had some trouble with spinning off of boxes aswell as doing switchups, i can 270 onto a box fine but when im on it, it feels like i cant spin and get my hands over its really wierd. If anyone else has had this problem can they give me some tips on doing switchups / 270's out, thanks.
 
join the trick tip cult. But for sw ups and spinning out use your edges to grip the rail and set your rotation
 
If you want to do 2 on and then just keep spinning let your momentum keep you spinning on the box, but for pretzels and stuff its all in the edge pressure.
 
i learnt sw ups by 2 on and then popping when you land so you kinda bounce and your momentum keeps you spinning
 
The key to spinning off boxes is the grip. Gives you good balance on the box and allows you to push off to get a good spin. If you want to spin fs out then grip with your front foot, bs grip with your back foot.
Gripping helps with switchups too, only fs though at least for me. Just because a fs switchup is like a fs spin out. I don't grip with bs though, that was the first switchup I learned and I think it's the easiest. What I did was over rotate my head, like when I land on the box I keep turning my head and shoulders. Then I just hop up real quick and switch up. It's easier than you think, it's all about momentum, balance, confidence, and the wind up. Just gotta throw it one day and you'll see its not that hard. Also they may be scarier but I think switchups are easiest on a kink rail.
