So Ive pretty much nailed zeros on almost any size jump, but i never look back when i land...i was looking at shanghai six, colby's shifty zero in keystone, and he doesnt either, but rainville was looking back...does it matter???

nope, one of those things thats completely personal preference, i think the majority of people look back at the jump when they land switch, i do.

i dont think it does, the only difference is when rainville looks back, he makes sure his body doesnt follow his head. just make sure when u look back ur body doesnt start to turn to the leftor right cuz u wont land straight.might catch an edge and die

I don't look back, i end up looking at the jump, then i turn around like 2 or 3 seconds after I land,

look back in the air right before you land, then look at your tips again.

yeah  make sure you dont look back until you're at least half way done your jump or else you can really start to turn sideways  (for me anyways......)     personal perference tho.    i take off, look halfway and then depending on how i feel i'll keep looking back for the landing or i'll look uphill again.

ya thats what i hate about landing switch, i look up hill when i land switch, and my hill is full of gaper tourists, and 9 ballers (9 ballers are people from the 909 area  code, they are  those people who are kooks, who think they are cool and good at every thing, they u sually where dickies shorts really low, high socks, famous, sullen, and other "bro" shirts, many of them have earings that are big holes) and they always cut across landings, and cut u off so it is often hard to do a run with any switch since u must avoid the downed tourist and 9ballers that lay around everywhere like a mine field
