ok, tha secret is that u use the same movement as if u were ridin reg. i see so many people trying to start their spin while they're still ridin, cuz they dont know, just jump regularly, and get comfy with ridin switch too. Not really a secret, more like a pointer.

dude it bec u look over you sholder and u auto spin so really depends on how much energy u put into the spin decides 3,5 or more. thats why it a lot easier.

The real big secret is that when you do a switch take of you must actually be riding backwards, so many people forget this and just go off the jump regular, and land switch, they tell you that they did a Zero Spin but they really just did a 180 cause they dont know what switch is

switch ones are one of the most stylie trick if you do them good they are easy to
once you know how to keep your speed going switch you will be able to do all the switch spins and tricks perfect

Yah, I think switch shit seems easier somtimes because since your alredy looking over your shoulder, you naturally rotate when you come off the lip.........thus zero spins are hard.

i think switch corks are muc easier. al you really have to do for the first 180 is start to look at the landing, and you'll rotae the rest of the way around

switch ones are fun... but anyway.. mark abma say: add a little lead change to your stance, to balance out the looking over your shoulder, makes for smooth easiness.

This is the secret I've found. When doing 'odd' rotations, ei. 180s, 540s, etc, and doing them switch, lean forward slightly, with the weight on your toes. If you are doing zero spins, 360s, 7s etc, have your weight more in the middle of your foot. Helped me alot on landings.
