I have been workin on getting lip on blind 2 lately. any advice for getting the 2 out? something about it freaks me out and I always just go to switch instead of committing

I can 270 confident off of like a side hit but doing it on a rail trips me out

Most people's issue is commitment. You gotta whip your head all the way around like an owl and make sure your body follows. Also if you are really locked into the rail it makes it easier.

The problem I had with blind 2s was catching my tips on the end of the rail, stopping my rotation. What helped was when I pedal, I used to just press down with my toe and let the spin happen. Then my tips got under. If I pressed a little harder then pull back, like quickly revving a gas pedal, they got way more consistent. The main thing you need is practice tho. It's a fun trick, keep it up!

Go faster, set it like a 360, keep turning those shoulders and bring the head around. You aren’t on that rail for very long so it’s really just a shifty 360 once you dial it in.

You have tons of time to get the spin around off a flat feature so don’t need to worry about that.
