landing switch is something thats learned overtime with practice, I still reverse pizza like that landing switch sometimes. You'll grow out of it with time.

Just keep praticing landing and skiing switch. You pretty much have it, just keep practicing it and you’ll get better.. it takes time

if this thread is serious: just pop your knees and turn your head.

the best tip for doing one 180s is just do the fucking 180

when i was learning i found it waaaay easier on a jump first

then it was easier on flat once you get it figured out with some time in the air

If you're learning on flat ground like that, which is fine, try pushing off with one leg - so if you rotate to the right right, lift your left foot before the right as you start to rotate, kinda pushing off the right foot.

yeah and it's because your pops and I split a case of coors banquet and did the no-pants dance on the hood of your clapped out bimmer. Your headgasket ain't the only thing that's been blown on that car I can tell you that much.

I just came up with this little slogan- if you can’t see, you can’t ski. You gotta stagger that stance, open up your hips and really take more of an athletic and dynamic stance edge to edge when skiing switch. It’s no different than skiing forward.

Being new you just kind of look like you’re waiting for something terrible to happen as soon as you land.
