just think of it like you're spinning forward... it's all a mind thing

break down everything about spinning going forward, and then apply that to a switch take off (shoulders and hips are key)

just remember that the first few times you land bigger switch spins they dont have to be the most stylish things, style comes with practice, i find to get past 5's you have to get a large enough jump and check your arms around, just keep looking......
