Switch ups

[VTtreeskier]

Been trying to learn switch ups but im having problems popping off the rail, and advice?

just remember to bend your knees when you get on the rail and then start looking over your shoulder in the direction you are gonna spin and just jump and spin

surface switch ups

shift your whole body in the direction you want to spin on the rail

Drape thaaat ski. Front ski, drap to the side you want to switch up, follow the rotation with your bodayyy then come out or keep onnn spinnin...

u dont have to be completely 90 on the box/rail in the first place then when u switch up it is less of rotation but still one

thats exactly it

I can't do switchups considering I can't even pop a 180 off the ground.

i think blindside is easier just go into the rail like normal then look up hill and just bend your knees and pop and then keep looking over your shoulder

watch tom wallisch do those pretzels. he kinda lets one ski hang over the edge of the rail/box to get his momentum going the other way.

one easy way to do a smooth switch up is set for a 270 on but harness your energy for later on the rail and release it and your swith up will be easy 123. if you dont wanna do that, get sideways on the rail and let the nose of one ski kind of drop down to one side and the tail of the other ski to the other side and it will help you pop your spin alot.
