I've just gotten into skiing this year and have gotten pretty good so far. I just have a couple of problems: Making a smooth transistion between regular and switch, getting in a full 360 rotation, and not sliding off the box when spinning on it. Any help?

I think he means when he spins on the box, either a spin on, or spinning as he grinds, he slides off. I cant really give any advice other than the extremely obvious stay centered.

come up to the box with it between your legs not off to one side

hey lolFRONTFLIP, shut the fuck up...lol
for your 360, take it off a bigger jump and tuck your legs up hard to spin faster...make sure to keep your head looking and spot your landing

just approach with speed, the faster ur moving, the less likely u are to fall off, kind of like riding north-shore in mountain biking.

do 180s for switching between switch and regular. or just learn to do a swishy revert. not that hard. just practice.

if you must come up ollie on style, and you keep sliding off the side, just compensate and land a little more to the opposite side that you are sliding off. by the time you are about to slide off the side, you will have already reached the end of the box.
