Last year I was pretty confident with hitting jumps switch. Sw 7ens werent a problem, I even did switch 9s. The only thing I had was that I used to spin too early, which wasnt that good.This year I thought lets get rid of that bad habit and try another way to take off switch.So this year I have a pretty broad stance and put most/all pressure and weight on the inside edge of my right ski (i spin leftside).Well, at the beginning of the season it worked pretty well, but now I got serious trouble.A month ago i had a 50 percent chance to either throw a beautiful cab7 or just slam the landing after an uncontrolled flight.Now after a 3 week break its much worse. I either get too much weight to the left when I`m in the air or I get corked.What am I doing wrong??? I just dont get it, I´m desperate...
 
what I forgot to say: sw 360s off jumps or little knuckles on groomers arent a problem.its like I do some sw3s, get comfy with those, then do a sw5 which usually works fine too, but the next switch spins go down the toilet...
 
You don't need a super wide stance, just a good pop. I have no idea how the fuck henrik can take off that wide but apparently it works for him. You however are not henrik. If you're putting all the weight on one edge thats the problem as you're taking off unevenly. Pop off both feet evenly, this goes for any trick.
 
sounds like you know what's wrong and when your ready to do it your just over thinking. I do this some times. Think about this KISS Keep It Simple Stupid and just let the math work out. Well that works for me, and it should for you because you know what your doing wrong, CCCR
