what do you guys prefer when coming in switch (on an urban): coming on with tips or tails first (if that make sense) i.e. tips first mean spinning left with rail on left side. tail first mean spinning left with rail on right side.

personally would say, tips on first feels better (as your not blind).

I'm not going to say either one is easier than the other, but it seems like you may have more success trying a switch lipslide (tips over the rail).

id say im more comfortable doing switch lip, but the other way, im not sure what you would call it, is definitely super fun and challenging.

on that note, what would you call switch on with tails of rail first?

coming on tails first is harder because ur looking over ur left shoulder while the rail is on the right side making it somewhat awkward.  Switch lips r easier cause keeping your eye on the rail is much easier.

switch skier slide? or just sw on, as opposed to sw lip, since we have no name for our regular slides haha
