Think of it like this : spin with your hips, not with your shoulders.

Switch 3s feel so good because you never move your head, you just spin around your body, landing is alway in view.

no, cause you'll be taking off switch, so your pop will be the same. try it and see for yourself

you know people you can pop and still land backseat. There's tons of reasons he could be landing backseat. Maybee he doesn't have shin pressure when he takes off. Maybee he's looking at the ground in the air and that's causing his chest to drop.

you're just not popping. get a slightly bigger jump, crouch before takeoff, tuck your legs in the air, and remember to spin with your hips and not your arms.
