Switch

The easiest trick to do when you hit a jump switch is a switch 180. Ride off the takeoff and gently turn your shoulders in the direction you are looking over your shoulder. Spot the landing, and ride away clean. I was scared as hell to try my first switch hit. Just take it easy on a smaller jump and work on your switch 180s and work your way up to bigger spins (or zero spins).

the hardest thing in my opinon (im just learning it too) is making sure that you dont lean uphill too much. when you ski switch, obviously you press your shins into the front of your boots, but if you do that in the air you will land on you face. remember to move your body downhill when you are at the lip!

Everyone says that switch 3's are easier than regular 3's.  I don't agree at all.  It took me forever to learn switch 3's.  Here's how i learned...

Get VERY good at skiing switch to the point where you can parallel switch down greens.  Nothing looks worse than switch in a giant V.  If you spin left it will benefit you to ski switch looking over your LEFT shoulder because you will be spinning in your normal direction.  Next, find little tiny mounds of snow and practice popping little switch 1's.  Then when your comfortable, maybe practice switch 1's over rollers or something bigger.  Then it's time to set the spin a little harder for the full 3.

I feel it's important to carve switch spins of jumps for 3 reasons.  It automatically kind of sets your spin.  Carving helps to prevent your tips from catching on the lip (which is the worst. SPIN WHEN YOU POP, not on the transition) And last, it looks so much sicker carving a spin off a jump. 

somewhat poop quality, but its a neat starto.

Just make sure you have the switch riding and turning in, maybe do a few runs around your resort switch only, its also very fun. If you aproach a small kicker or bigjump like this, one foot behind the other and spotting over your shoulder, you will most likely  do a sw180 without having the intentions of it. And from there its mostly just trying and failing i guess. =) (?)

okay thanks guys going this weekand gonna try it out

agreed. just fall instead of reverse plow haha it looks better
