Need help skiing switch

[TheQuailman]

This may sound stupid so make fun of it if you want but when I ski switch I have trouble turning to see behind me. Does anyone else have this problem?

 

[iridefattwins]

is it ur hood thats in the way?

Just practice, you'll eventually find your shoulders completly twisted around, its all about gettin your neck and back muscles more flexable, so just stretch, and practice you should be golden.

just practice and practice if your going down a trail forwards switch up and start riding switch youll get it

Before my neck was streached to bend around I would lift up my goggles, that made It a bit better.

after time it gets super easy it feels natural for me now

 

[TheQuailman]

So I should stretch too improve my vision backwards

When you go to sleep, ducktape your head so the back of your head is on your bed (use a towel so it wont stick to you) and tape your torso so you lay on your stomach, switch your head every night.

yea...idk about that one.,.you might have a sore ass neck the next day...just looking over your shoulder works for me...when you are goign to dont lean into the hill you sorta have to lean backwards its like skiing forwards you have you weight forward down hill so when your going switch just sorta lean on your heels a little

stretching will help not aching, but instead of turnign just your neck turn your whole upper body, it will take a while to get use to this but i eventually got it this way.

dont do what freeskier said, that will probably hurt a lot more than help, just practice on looking as far as you can, make sure that you hood is out of the way. It takes some time, and practice to get used to it.

i made this thread a while ago and im so much better at skiing switch and i keep improving, i moved my hood out of the way so that helped alot thnx

 

[*rkp*]

[RWalker]

If yur carving switch, keep yur head in the direction yur turning. And if yur straighlining, just turn your waist.

i wonder howcome noone has put like one of those biking mirrors on their helmet....maybe its cuz objects in the mirror appear closer than they actually are

 

[angus_k_]

remember to stack ur ankles. I remember having the same problem, but then i learned stacking, which puts ur whole torso in the right position. = carving switch with ease
