Tips for front swapping
last season I tried many times to front swap, but always failed horribly, does anyone have tips on how to do them or how to learn
Do a front 2 early on a rail
try to turn onto the rail full 90 degrees, wind up ur body while digging ur front foot heel into to the rail and send er
Do it on a box first
It's really all about making sure you pop. If you just drop your heel without a good pop, you might get lucky and do a front surface swap, but you'll probably just eat shit. So make sure you're setting your heel, and do the 180 to swap make sure you're deliberately popping to do a clean swap without clipping anything.
I just learned these last season, here's what I do. Apply pressure on your front heel, and wind your shoulders, then unwind and jump, make sure to keep looking at the end of the rail to maintain balance, and pick your feet up so you don't catch your tips. (I caught my tips a lot, would recocreco learning on a low fatty tube
DIRTYBUBBLEDo a front 2 early on a rail
this motherfucking advice is literally the TLDR of how to do a front swap. Just make sure you pop...
Find a tube. Tubes are the best and most fun. Ask Cory Iyoob.
Drop your front heel, that’s what helped me the most, also make sure you looking at the end of the rail
I can front 2 and can barely pull off a front 4, but slip out every single time I front swap

dont have all your weight on your back foot.

My religion is tubeology
I wouldn't ski if tubes didn't exist

https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/915385/Front-SwapThis is my progress so far this season. Still super sketchy, but much better results over straight up slip outs to my hip last year.
I am definitely getting a good pop, but I pop up instead of perpendicular to the rail which is where I run into issues. I also cannot 360 a jump which is very sad, but every time I try I just land backseat and kill my shins.

I think everyones been at this stage at some point. The next step will come naturally.

ok cool I feel a lot better now. I wanted to try it on a flat rail or tube of some sort first, but seven springs’ park crew said flat rails are too basic.

Thats really good progression. You got the hardest part down, now just focus on being real centered on the rail prior to throwing the swap, and focus on jumping straight up and down. It'll come with time if you focus on it each time you try the swap. And if you need 360 help theres a million threads, but the TLDR for 3's is initiate spin with you core, keep your shoulders and hips level, stay centered/lean forward a little on the takeoff to prevent the backseat landing.

Who gives an ass what they say, do it on whatever you feel confident and comfortable doing it on.

I was trying to say that seven springs refused to put up a normal flat rail because it isn’t “creative enough.” It was an opening day park so I cannot really hate on them.
