"So the trick that I am going to be explaining to you now is called the outside 270 off of a rail. What this trick is is you slide the direction one way and then you spin in the opposite direction and eventually it is kind of like popping a between a 360 and a 180 out of it and then come out riding and switch. It is one of the elementary tricks that you will learn after you get sliding rails down is that spinning out helps you bring tricks together. It adds for style points, it makes your tricks look better. What I am going to be showing first is the outside 270, come to this rail as you would any other rail, slide sideways like this one you are on the rail and then pop this way and then spin your body and land like this and ride out backwards. Before you try this trick make sure you have sliding rails down, 360's down, and 180's down so it gets you comfortable with riding backwards as well as with spinning too. You want to combine all those elements together to be able to do the outside 270 out of a rail."
