kingsskierGetting a tow in switch is difficult and there is usually little room to switch up on the run in if they start forward.
Mr.BishopTerrible excuse. These guys are professionals and I expect better.
kingsskierFireworks on the tips to boost them switch into the rails? I'll get my duct tape
Ribss.I can hold a wakeboard tow rope behind my back and ride, why can't a pro?

jason...you ever tried hitting a sketchy urban setup switch? thats why.
Mr.BishopThat's a bad excuse though. I mean I remember seeing Pep 270 onto a rail at high north in like 2001. It seemed like a fucking impossible superman feat.
I learned it a year later and that shit was something that almost nobody did.
Nowadays any fucking nine year old who has been park skiing for fifteen minutes can 270 k-fed or whatever the fuck you call it these days.
I mean Jesus there was a day when a cab 10 was fucking mind blowing. Compare that to a nosebutter triple cork million spin and I think that figuring out how to jump on urban switch isn't a huge step of logic.

Saga.I think it was in Sunny Will Wesson did a couple of switch urban hits.
theabortionatorI just put my outerwear and goggles on backwards and pretend I'm dropping switch.
MousseauDom has a few good ones in here:
AmarinoClayton does a huge switch 2 in mutiny, wrecks himself then stomps it
WPochNo one ever DARES attempt The Switch. It is a death sentence to all
White_GoodmanFirst of all, if you haven't seen any switch urban tricks, you probably haven't watched enough ski videos. I think the reason why it isn't very popular in urban is because the main focus is usually doing big, gnarley, original stuff, not technical tricks. And not only is hopping into switch before hitting an urban feature when using a bungee difficult, it also looks pretty dumb.. when you're using a bungee you are obviously looking to get as much speed as possible, so hopping into switch is going to slow you down, and doing it 10 feet before the takeoff looks stupid in my opinion. When there is natural speed available it would make more sense, because you could hop into switvh earlier, or drop in switch.

That photo was taken summer 2002. That staircase rail slid about 20' away from the jump when there was a huge melt one night. Before we had a chance to fix it, Pep just rolled in and 270'd the gap like it was nothing.
So I don't know if you were insinuating that the timeline is too early or too late, but I can validify that it was exactly 2002. I don't think that was the first ever 270 on, but I just remember how crazy it was to see.
