Looking to try my first 3swap switch up what ever you wanna call it this Wednesday since I’ll be riding a hill with a nice a frame and flat down. I was thinking swlip continued f3 up any advice? Or just peddle hard and set hard and hope for the best?

Switch lip helps with it just visualize doing a front four off to the down and it will be easier than trying to focus on doing a swap. that's what worked for me

No way I was also thinking of trying some 3 swaps this weekend. This is how I intend to learn it
1. Stand on a skinny box/flatbar and try some 3 swaps without moving (I’ve done it before it’s pretty easy
2. Try a 3 swap at the end of this fat tube so I dink the end before coming off
3. Try 3 swaps earlier on the rail
If you can scissor with both feet and do flat ground 3s it shouldn’t be that hard

Can you front 4 off tiny rails? Just scissor and spin into the future. You'll be good.
