yeah, i land switch better. My 5's are really smooth and i stomp them easily. but 3's i feel out of control. But my switch 3s are smooth. Basically landing switch just feels more natural

i find landing switch is alot easier on the knees, back, and body overall. for example, i can case or just barely hit the knuckle on a large table switch and it is no where near the pain of casing it going regular. i love switch

I like landing switch because I cant get shin bang as easily and it doesnt hurt when i overshoot jumps.

ya if im hiting a jump and i get the straight air down, with a kang of course, then i either 180 or 5 it, 360s always give me shin splints

also other than the lack of shin splints u can also spot your landing easily when landing switch

i find stomping landings easier switch, but id way rather overshoot/come up short forward. ive drilled myself in the face way too many times doin that switch.
