I need some input on this, is it easier to land switch or regular when you're jibbing? For me it is definitely switch, coming off regular just seems 10 times harder. The thing is though is that I hear, "Good job on that slide, now try to land switch." and other stuff like that. What do you guys have to say?
 
i find coming off switch and normal is like the same i dont think theres much difference for me but 270's i can only land swithc
 
I think it is easy because if you are just doing a regular on/switch off slide, you don't have to work against your momentum to come off. It is kinda like a pretzel for a regular on/regular off thing.
 
the reason it is easier for you to land switch is probubly because you are spinning to much onto the rail or box
 
yea switch is much easier for me, especially on butter boxes if you just slide it.

and dope icon man^ thats really original, how's do make that.
 
yeah when i land switch on a rail it usually goes hrough my legs and squahes my nuts... that can get annoying i need to get better at that..... haha jk but usually its easier for me to land normal
 
look at your tips if u think this is redictules then go watch BTBH ALL MOST EVERY TIME they land switch of a box and when they are doin switch ups they are lookin at there tips
 
Its easier to come off switch i think cause your momentum is kind of turning you that way, at least on a box, but for rails its pretty much the same to come off either way other than that it looks different
 
if im just going sideways on a normal rail its much easyer for me to come off switch i fall alot wehn i try n come off normal....but boxs its easyer to do foward cause i spin more and thats norm where i end
 
i used to always come out switch but after you get more confortable with rails and jibs in general you notice how much sicker and easier it is to come out both ways. it gets really easy
 
you probabaly keep spinning once you get on the box or the rail and then you end up just coming out switch
 
Pretty even for me, i usually position my body as i get on the rail to how i want to come off, usually.
 
yeah i think they are about the same...the more you slide rails and boxes the more you will realize what kind of pressure to add to each foot or which way to turn your body and you will have it on roll call the more you practice
 
there the same for me, and as for 270 off backside is easier on boxes cause i just maintain my momentum, but fronside is easier on rails, same for switchups
 
the funnest thing is comming off a high rail or box...in the air stay sideways with a big safety grab or make it look like a shifty and then stomp it to switch at the last second, thats the shit right thurr, and if you cant do that, come out straight, because switch is for gays
