My switch spins r killing me I can do Reg left side spins all the way up to 900, but once I go switch I look over my right instead of left...so I spin unatty switch and I was wondering if I should force myself to look over my left or is there some stance that would be more comfortable for me to spin with. And I need some tips on popping switch..thanks.

i think just practicing looking over your left shoulder all the time so your comfratable (sp) looking over that shoulder

im the same as you with the direction of my spins and i find it way easier to spin switch unnatty. its almost more comfortable than natty.

i ski up looking over my right, and just before i reach the lip I switch to left (it initiates the spin right as i leave the lip) You take off blind but i like it because it really squares me up.

^ I tried that but I didnt really pop and I caught the tip of my ski and it fucked me over.

If your looking for switch 9's you should be able to look over both shoulders equally and carve plenty good switch.
Take a couple laps looking over your left and givr.
The change shoulders at the last second works but not for me, if I think about anything other than the trick/jump I crash.

i found that looking and taking off the same way lead to me being off axis and more likely to catch my tips.

i had the same problem...practice carving switch and look over your left shoulder. its a talent being able to turn your head/shoulders but not your hips but if u get it it will be siiick.switch is unbeleivably easy when u get it.
