Are switch ups easier on down rails? Or are they the same or easier?

I just learned switch ups on a flat to down rail and they were surprisingly easy. Also try doing it on an a frame

Personally I've always thought front swaps were easier on down rails but blind were easier on flat rails. ive never been great at blind swaps though so maybe thats just me.

Ya, I've only got the fromt swab down on a flat rail, kinda hesitant to try it on a down rail.

Blind switchups are easiest on aframes. The steeper the aframe is the better. You want one that comes to a point not rounded as that will help you pop into the spin.

mellow flat downs are my favorite to do front swaps on

up flats are absolutely the easiest rail to swap. but between down and flat rails, i think flat rails are easier to commit on but harder to do and down rails are harder to commit to a swap but easier to do.
