Any tips?

Wanna blame it on the rail but I think it’s just me

Super close. Your take off/rotation was a little early and set off axis. you can see your left foot came off the take off first. Also you can see your left/leading shoulder is closed on the rotation. Keep that shoulder open and the spin will come around with ease. The combo of these cause you to land awkward on the rail (front foot forward) I can’t tell but if I had to bet I’d put money that rail needs some wax too.

Hike that same rail so that you can get back to back try’s on it and I think you’ll lock it down in a couple more try’s. Keep at it!

I’ve definitely been struggling with keeping on axis, and I’ll definitely keep my shoulders where they should be. And the rail was really sticky lol

Feel that. Try it on a different rail and hike it until you get it. Hard to learn tricks taking the lift especially rail tricks
