Honestly, 2s on aren't my thing (I can only really do them on fat tubes) but I'll try my best to give some helpful tips.
An ideal feature is a ride on fat tube, that's not super long.
I recommend coming in from the side as I assume it will help with urban later on (still haven't made the jump to urban personally)
Pop a little harder, go a little faster, and basically spin it like s 3 but not quite as hard.
Focus on landing with even wait too, so you don't slip out.
Press on the backside pedal so you don't keep spinning too.

Throw it like a 180 on. Shifty over the last 90 degrees and land with your feet wide

You will surprise yourself, it’s not that hard but rather more mental concentration and mental barriers. . +1 for fat short tube.
When i I was learning them I just rode straight in, rail straight ahead right between your legs and basically strattle it. Pop, then huck a nice little spin (not quite as hard as a 3) and spot the rail. Some dude above me mentioned equal weight... when I was learning I literally had to think ALL weight on my front ski cus I kept slipping out. Then just focus on locking back on the rail after that. I tend to immediately drop my lead tip and trailing tail to scissor, feels soooo good once you get it.
Good of luck homie. Don’t duke yourself out just huck it. Like I said it’s almost all mental if you can huck a 3 and slide a rail. You’re just combining the two together

Pretty much all of the above. + If you take a rail thats not a ride on rail and have to go from the side then make sure you pop over the rail before spinning (otherwise tips will catch and its not a good time i can guarantee)

send it and see what you need help with. that's the tip i got a couple years ago. don't overthink it too much. just see yourself doing it in your head when you try it. the tips i got afterwards was to lean more on my front and lock in harder since i fell backwards. when you first learn em just keep doing them a lot and get out of the mental barrier. good luck!

lean forward. whenever I try it I spin it like underrotaing a 3 and usually slip out

visualize! see yourself doing it, also I find it helpful to really get my arms involved, prep the spin before the takeoff then throw it with your arms and make sure to use your hips as well

I really like to stare at my feet when I two on to a rail. Helps with understanding where u are in the spin relative to the rail. As soon as I lock in then I stare at the end. Also carving in a little bit with more weight on your inside ski helps. The inside ski if your doing regular two on should be your front foot. This helps to make sure you dont slip out, especially on a down rail.

I do them like a shifty. Keep my eyes on the rail, and only turn forward after landing
