Help on sw ups

[JIB_NISSE]

i need some advice on doing sw ups on flat rails, i find it hard to initiate the spin. its alot easier on kinks, but on flat rails i need some serious help.

and does it make it alot easier if i center mount my skis more?

you dont need to center mount. it helps if you have a fairly long rail when you are learning so that you have set up time. you just have to pop and turn a little fast than when doing it on kinks.

i found when i was just starting to do them, that if i got on the rail a turned little more to the side i was going to switch up to, it was easier to initiate the spin.

yeah that works practicing them for boxs^^ i never tried that on rails

ya, let yourself spin on the rail before you jump. and backside switchups (while they may be sacrier) are easier

on blindside i kinda slowly butter on the rail until im about to switch nut, well not that much but u get to the idea, but if u do some of the rotation on the rail u can just do like a subtle little 100 degree hop

i like to go a little slow especially if it's a smaller jib then just turn a little before i sw up

just pop and keep your head turning yo
