I'm spinning right on jumps, and wanna land switch and ride out looking left. I can do it on small jumps and little spins, but not so much on bigger stuff.
I searchbar'd some threads where dudes said look back at the jump when landing switch, but when I do that I end up reverting to the right before I'm off the jump.
Am I dumb for wanting to keep looking down the hill when I land switch and ride out? Anything I can do to make this work better? Any edits where dudes get it done right? Here's clips of me tryna do it;

Land with a wider stance and also practice skiing switch so you have better edge control.

Uhh that. I'd rather just have the switch down solid looking left, but I don't see dudes in edits landing like this on bigger stuff.....they end up turning blind for a sec and looking the same way they were spinning.
This edit is a good example for what I'm asking about;

About halfway in he lands a left 5 looking right, so past 360 he's looking down the hill the whole time. I'm guessing rightside is natural, and for that he turns blind and looks right.
Looks like I'm dealin' with it.

Its easier to do what you're doing. If you spin a 180 to the right, and look over your right shoulder when you land, your head would be doing a full 360°, right? If you look over your left when you land, your head spins 0°!
Same idea with the 5, whip a 360 and then twist your lower body an extra 180. Get less dizzy.
To make it work better just practice it more, you're on the right track my man!

first you have to get your moms permission to learn the switch

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm probably overthinking it, just wanna make sure I know the deal before taking it to bigger jumps.
I found another clip, Tom does a sw right 10 in Refresh that I watched a bunch of times to get the gist of it.
Hands in the pockets.
just land as if you are doing a right 1 on flat ground and stagger your feet
Thinkin' I got it, I watched this POV edit of Jesper a lot;
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/858524/18-jumps--2-hours---Jesper-Tj----der
and started spotting my left tail when I land switch.

thats looking way better man!
if you feel confident taking off switch then try a few switch 3s on those jumps in neff land, its the perfect trick for spotting the entire time and landing switch
All times are Eastern (-5)
