first of all what is a good size jump to start doing switch spins? at blue there is like a 10 footer and the next thing there is a 35 footer . should i be building my own jump at home thats bigger then 10 feet or just kill myself by hitting the 35 footer ?
 
it depends on how much ur spinning, 10 feet is good to learn off..once u get the hang of it hit the 35
 
10ft will be just fine. Hit it over and over doing switch 1s, then try some sswitch 3s. Do that for a couple days, or until you are very comforable on it, then make sure you have ur speed right, and do swtich 1s and 3s on the 35ft. Then keep progressing.
 
only way^^ I learned by spending a whole week end on a 15 footer hitting switch 1s and 3s. it went so easy on the 35 footer
 
yeah make sure you're comfortable going switch fast before to hit the 35 ft jump but you don't have to build a jump it's alright
 
Right when the season starts, before the park is built/good, i just mach down runs switch. practice skiing switch, staggering your feet, looking over both shoulders. It's so important.
 
its all about comfort... do what your comfortable with then keep steping it up with both size, spins, and most importatnly STEEZE!
 
try doing all your runs in the park sw. trying to keep up with your frends makes you ski sw. a lot faster each times until you can ski just as fast both wasy and are very comfortable

now you can hit jumps

start with the 10 and do 1s and 3s until you have them good

then move on to the 35 ft.er
 
hit the 10 once then just throw your self off the 35 if you make it over the knucle nothing too bad can happen unless you have gone of axis
 
i would do the 35, 35 is soo small, my first was a switch one on a bumb in a run but of a jump it was a 50 at our park. just go in steady and when you get to the lip just go really slow into a switch 1. so suck it up and dont be a pussy. just DO IT and youll go far in this sport.
 
any size jump will do, no matter how small. it's fun sometimes to hit mellow small jumps switch. i shouldn't be in a position to talk because my sw. 5's are penciled out everytime i do them off a decent sized jump.
 
i think switch spins are more fun then straight cause u get to see everything easier. straight spinning feels so much more blind.
 
Just start off the 35ft. jump. You won't kill yourself off it and it'll give you plenty of time to adjust to your mistakes in the air. It's the small shit that'll get you injured.
