Do you find a normal 2 on easier or harder than switch 2 on. I rarely stick a 2 on but with switch 2 ons I have a higher success rate. Probably because I can see the rail the entire way around. Any tips for either would be appreciated.

Depends what type of rail. On a down rail with an urban on lip I can't land a sw 2 to save my life

I've only done sw 2s onto a box and it was incredibly easy. You never go blind so it's less intimidating for me. The hardest part was learning how to pop switch without like pre spinning. I've never been able to do a normal 2 on so my vote goes to sw 2s haha.

Sw 2 is sketch for me because I have to try to be super patient in order to not hit my tips on the rail. So yeah normal 2 is easier for me

From what ive heard being patient on the take off is the biggest tip to follow. It also seems that lifting your legs up helps get the tails over. duh

Honestly its like 80% to do with the speed you come in with, as soon as you trust yourself to come at the rail fast and at a bit of an angle you'll be able to get them down. Idk if you have Slapp but if you do go search switch tails 2 and most of the people will land like half way down the rail

I've done regular 2s on boxes and pvc rails, but I've done sw 2s onto a real rail. Switch 2s are WAY easier I think.. depends on the lip tho

Yes I suck, I don't do 2 on
