Landing switch

[mike759]

I always tend to lose balance and catch an edge when I land switch. Are there any simple ways to fix this?

practice riding switch till your very veyr comfortable at it. Learn to carve backwards and have as much control as you do going forward. No other way. Landing switch than becomes nothing to think about

Can't say I am good at them myself but I have done some. Popping is really important and I have noticed that it sometimes helps to pop later then you want to on purpose. This video helpshttp://skitutorials.com/index.php/project/how-to-hit-jumps-switch-switch-180/

Start spinning after you leave the lip so you don't catch

Landing switch has already been covered.

Pro tip for switch takeoffs: pop when the toe pieces of your bindings reach the lip of the jump

Just get really comfortable riding switch, practice switch 1s on some small rollers or small jumps. Make sure to land and stomp it with your skis staggered like todd walnuts

Just tape these badboys to your poles.

Does any one know how to take off a jump that has a big lip? I am very comfortable skiing switch and going off jumps. but when the lip is bigger it tends to throw me back seat if I land forward... how do you take off with balance and not get thrown off balance from the lip?

So put shin pressure on my boots and then move that pressure to my calfs when I take off the lip?

Thanks for the help it just made me feel so awkward in the air...
