200 foot rail, haha. I can't even swtich on, so I don't know. I always bail when I try switch on, and that's to boxes. Oh well...

make sure u come at the rail striaght on going switch and make sure u turn 90, not more or less and look at the end of the rail.. it sounds like it wouldnt help ive found it does. good luck

alright thank its just so difficult for me to go straight switch on to a rail cause this is only my second year skiing so im still learning

 
yeah man, you've just got to point it straight in and commit. I've actually found that I tend to have much better rail balance coming on switch, because I've got no choice but to come straight on.

yea u have to get more speed and resist ur urge to pizza while going fakie-speed helps. i just learned fakie on like 2 weeks ago and i think its easier to cock ur spin while ur going at the box so that u spin enough to get on striaght

the main thing for me is just to lean forward, becuase if i fall i fall back

u might not be popping enough on... so u wouldn't ever look on very well, and kinda butter the rail

I like it when the red water comes out.
 
^ya definitely

come in with some good speed, pop well and make a perfectly 90 degree spin on. do it a lot, and soon you'll be just as comfortable coming on switch to a 20 footer as you are comfy hitting it straight

if you can do it on a box then its the exact same thing just harder. dont do anything just make sure you hit it straight.

dont bother with switch on, but if you wanna learn, its eactly the same eas stright. when you get on keep your eyes on the end of the rail, and make sure you aren't getting scared and hucking too hard, so you do like a switch 120 instead of 90.
