I am way more confident with big spins switch for some reason. Is this true for anybody else? I learned sw 7s way before regular ones.
 
no but i can land way better switch. its funny, when i go to the park i start with 1's then 5's then 9's b/c its so easier to land switch. if i cork or anything like that though i can land forward just as easily as switch
 
idk this is probably just me but i can 9 pretty well but can barely switch 5. ive just never gotten around to practicing them
 
this is the case for me 2... when i first strted it was weird, i find that it jst helps me take of more evenly and i can pop alot better
 
yeah it's way easier to spin switch, I find cause my upper body and head already are twisted around, so a awitch 3 is pretty much as much effort as a regular 1-pretty much as soon as your skis leave the jump they start to spin cause the rest of you is already facing the other way.
 
im the same way, when i learned 5's it took me a long to grow the ball to try them on even little park jumps (like 20 ft) and when i learned switch 5's i just hucked em straight up on a 20 ft park jump, so im way more confident in switch spins, not sure why i just like em more, there way harder to grab with i find tho
 
i think it is because when you are coming up switch you can see where you are going until you get past 360, in a sense. at least, for me.
 
i find switch spins really easy and i think its jsut because ur body naturaly wants to turn because u want to land normal.. making a 0 spin hard cuz u go off switch and land switch which ur body doesnt want to do in one way...
 
yeah once you are real comfortable with skiing and hitting jumps switch its def as easy/easier than hitting them regs
 
this thread really makes me stoked to learn switch spins. Im so working on these next time I go out.
 
i agree that its easier to spin switch but i did all my forward spins before i did them switch cause i didnt have twin tips and didnt want to eat shit.
 
i hate spinning switch it is wierd because i always want to pop and unwind my spins way to early and i always catch an edge or go inverted or something
