720 Rail Snow Ski Trick

Video Transcript

"So the most difficult rail trick that I'm going to be showing you today is called the "270-on". It's really important that you learn how to do this trick. Much like going switch-on, learn how to do it on a flatter box, something that doesn't have as much consequence. To show you guys I'm going to be doing it onto this down-sloped handrail. With this trick, the combination of part of a 360, so you're going to spinning on, then not spinning a full 360 so you're landing sideways, and then sliding the rail. It's really important also that you learn how to slide rails both directions because when you spin on like this, you're going to be sliding with your opposite foot forward if you spin to the left and slide naturally with your right foot forward. So what I'm going to do when I come to the lip is carry a little bit more speed because I'm going to need to pop up and over it, and you're going to want to come down and pop a little harder because you need to spin over the rail. So what you're going to do is a little faster and spin 270, which you'll spin this much amount, so you're going to be landing on the rail like this, and then you want to go and slide the rest of the rail and come out regular as if you were just normally sliding the rail. That's how you do a 270 onto a down slope rail."
