whenever i go into an inrun switch or just plane skiing switch my tails seem to curve in and i can never pick up enough speed to hit the jump. any suggestions? i usually spin left but whenever i am switch it seems easier to look right and spin right?

you mean the reverse pizza? it just takes a little practice to get out of the habit of that. if your haviing a real hard time, thats kinda wierd.

not a pizza at all, lol, i mean i am barely wedging but enough to pick up some snow to slow me down. when i look back they look almost straight and when i straighten my legs completely and have them the right way, whenever i look back again they turn in a little

When I ski switch I usually try to stay on edge most of the time for its hard to run the bases flat cause they just drift around. So basically learn to carve switch before you hit jumps switch. One more thing its feels wierd to lean back but you have to otherwise you will essentially do a wheelie into the jump and you are always going way slower than u think u are... Good luck

 
thanks, i think the cause now is that i was leaning back afraid to fall forward, maybe that was turning my edges into the snow-thanks

just look up the hill once you turn around at first to get the feel of switch, making sure no objects are behind you. once you have the feel down for going switch then try and keep your lower body stable and just turn your head and shoulders a little.

the only advice i oculd give you is ditch barney

guess she doesn't know hers comes with free refills
 
also stagger your stance a little, i spin left to so if you have your left foot slightly leading it should help

Just try to keep a wider stance. Other than that, there's really no tricks people can tell you. You just gotta practice, and get used to it on your own. It may take a while, but it'll happen eventually.

Cheers bro.

If you spin left, carve into the jump toward your right. Not only will that start to bring your hips around for the rotation and open your field of vision, but it will put both skis on edge and you won't be cutting the snow and slowing yourself down.

Jeff: Hey Geoff, did Ronny tell you not to wear any boxers so he could rape you better?

Geoff: No, I just put my boxers on backwards so the hole is in the back...it's alot easier that way.
