It depends on where ur coming from. K feds and front 4s don’t usuLly don’t look good but when you’re doing a sw on Kfed it looks much better

On rails, landing forward. On jumps, landing backward. The takeoff on either don’t matter I just like the landings lololo

Not ignorant. More like malicious.

Very aesthetic tho.

Also to the point of this thread, hitting or landing jumps switch is the climax of the sport of skiing. As an athletic feat its so far beyond anything in snowboarding because for example switch in snowboarding isnt as much of a thing.

nobody remembers the first time they saw a snowboarder ride switch because it doesnt look any different. But every kid remembers the first time they saw a skier skiing switch or hitting a jump switch. Its just something that seems like it wouldnt work but flexible athletes leverage basedness to make it work. Its probably one of the most fundamental parts to the newschool element of our sport.
