Rail Spins

What it is

Now it's time to start adding some rotations to the features! At first we will look to spin on the rail, but as we improve this is going to change a little bit! For now though lets get you doing your first rail 180's and 360's!

How to do it

1. Approach the rail with a good cut
2. Once on the rail stay nice and low and keep your chest up
3. Quick check to see if you will make it to the end of the feature
4. Always look forward! Never look behind you
5. Use the handle to initiate rotation
6. Quickly turn your head so you are always looking for the end of the feature so you know when to land!
7. Try and complete all 8 of the different 180's and 360's!

Common problems

• It feels like im going to slip over when I'm trying the rotations. Make sure to stay low with with equal weight on both legs and your chest up to stay balanced when rotating!
• It feels like I get 'lost' when I'm rotating. Keep your eyes fixed on your reference point at the end of the rail, and then quickly turn your head. By keeping your eyes looking where you are going you will be much more aware of where you are.
