Pretty easy.
Others might find it different but when i near the end of the rail I just look over my back shoulder and start pivoting before the end. Then my body just follows throw like a 360.
not sure if that made any sense, but thats how I do it.

I had the same problem like 2 years ago, but then i suddenly did a front 270 and then everything was good.. try to stop the rotation from the 90 degree spin when you hit the rail, and then when you get ready to jump off, bend your front ski ski upwards a little bit so that the tip of your ski is higher then your tail. then just pop off the rail and spin around. use your arms in the start and when you are comfortable your arms will get unnessesary and itll look better.

When I was first learning them I just started looking around in that direction and gave myself a small pop as I left the rail.
However now I use the same technique that people use to pret out. Just push against the edge of the rail with your leading ski. It will stop you from rotating and send you in the direction you want to go. Then just hop off and continue to look around.
First time I did it that way I over-rotated and almost landed a 450, but alas it was just almost.

you hav to scisor your skis when you get towards the end of the rail (because you spin on to the left and spin off to the right) by pointing your right nose and your left tail down. then when you get to the end of the rail, push off with your right foot.

thats wierd most people (even tho its usually there opposite spinning direction ) find it alot easier to do downhill spins because you dont have to pop as much

whichever way you are turning, dig that ski into the rail so your using your edges to start your rotation, then just look over your shoulder and pop

put ur first ski on the ledge, you'll start turning then the rest is just spinning off exactly like a bs 2 out.

artard thats blindside. dig your heel into the rail and it should make it alot easier to spin off frontside

frontsides are easier for me. its just fliping your feet around a bit

Like any spin, moving your head is key. So, use the lifting the tip of your forward ski technique outlined above, and pop into a spin, looking back to see the jump onto the rail. Stomp it with steeze, which keeping your eyes up will help, and then go get the chicks that just fell in love with you.
Also, learning a good fs 270 out is a direct step towards doing quick fs switchups at the end of the rail. You just throw the switchup a little early, bounce your skis off the rail at 180, and then turn 90 degrees to get pointed downhill.

i find it easier to frontside 2 if you are more towards the left side of the rail

what helped me out, was hitting the rail switch that way your momentum is going with the spin, then once you get it dialed, with switch on, it comes together easier. but then again I learn most tricks switch before forward so I'm weird. aside from that, if you learn it switch first momentum is on your side.
