How to 2 out on rails
Does anyone have any tips on 2s out, I can slide most of the rails in the park and I wanted to learn two off, does anyone have any tips?

The videos are slightly cringey but they get the point across. 270's are pretty easy - If you pick a decent rail and hike for 30 minutes or so, it wont take long for you to figure out. Main thing is staying low - keeping your knees bent on the rail, and setting in your edge to initiate the rotation.

Thanks for the help, will try and get these next time I get to ski!
You need full tilts or the truck won’t work

Dammit I'm fucked then
For the front 2s I would reccomend a corrugated tube, I feel like is allows me to grip more with the front edge
i feel like its one person making all these "how do i X" threads
just try to spin a 180 and look back up at the rail with your hips while your still on the rail then let your legs/feet follow at the end

That is the exact opposite of the thing youd want to front 2 out of being that your ski can get caught so easy. I suggest the biggest tube you have access to tbh.
for blind twos I watch the end of the rail and when I get half way start to scissor and then spin out near the end

Good luck!

I think he meant the ones like in whistler where its very very slightly corrugated. Find the fattest tube at the park n just practice scissoring
the best 270 out tutorials are by Jake Muller, i highly recommend them. He's got loads of other good tutorials as well, definitely worth checking out
Dig in those edges and then its all in the shoulders and head.
Does anyone have any advice on whether to learn front 2 or blind 2 first?

FRONT 2, way easier because you can see the landing the whole time. It takes very little skill.

perhaps for some. I found front 2 easier to learn first but most people ive talked to thought blind two was the easiest because you only have to set at the beginning and keep turning (on a short rail ofc) rather than scissor and spin
Grip and rip! Msot rails are around 10 feet so you usually can't just 90 on and bounce off keeping your momentum. You need to land and slide the rail for a while, near the end you use the leading ski to grip and push off.
