Any skier or boarder on the board good at 270ing onto boxes/rails? It's one of my goals for the season and I spent much of last night eating it trying to get.
My problem (and I guess like most people) is 270ing in my natural direction leads to grinding in my unnatural direction. Example, I pop off the lip rotate in a clockwise direction, and land on the box with my right ski downhill of my left. (while I prefer to grind with my left foot first).
I just can't get a flat landing on the box. usually my uphill edges hit causing me to fall backwards. I just don't have enough time to spot my landing. Any tips?
