switch up- go on a box (fairly slippery one helps)
1. slide it regular
2. slide the box but instead of looking forward keep your head turned over your inside shoulder which will keep you spiining and if successful you will come around to 360 and come off straight
3. slide the box and do the same thing as in two but just pop as soon as you get stable on the box. remember to keep your head over your shoulder.
4. bang it hard, you just did a blind side switch up.
720- find a 20-25 foot jump
1. do a 360
2. do a 540
3. spin as if doing a 5, just a little faster, when you come to 5 instead of spotting your landing keep turning by keeping your head turned. its basically a switch 1 after youre at 5.
hope that helped

only thing you need to know about switchups to be able to do one:
set it harder whichever way your going. so bs switchup when you jump on don't jump on like only 90 degrees jump on like 110 and pop right away. fs switchup don't jump on 90 degrees right away jump on like 70 scissor and pop and spin it. thats all you gotta know, just keep your momentum for bs switchups there the easiest thing ever fs are pretty fuckin easy too but are a bit diff.
720's
just stop being scared and keep committed, that has to do with any regular spin. 360's are the same as a 1080 you just have to spin one harder and get a little more air.

your advice for blind swap is good, but for front swap you actually wanna get on like 100 so that you can get a good grip on the box while kinda winding up to set it in a way. you won't lock onto the box or rail if you dont go at least 90. if you set the front swap hard enough you might end up surprising yourself with a k-fed which is a good thing.

meh people do them different ways, usually i fs switchup pretty fast after getting on so i dont like jumping on completely 90 or past 90, i find it easier to hop to fs when your momentum hasnt carried you yet to bs.
and for the 720, just do it off a like 20 ft table. crank that soldier boy n spin it. how many days do you really have a powder day you know? I would always say that... o ill just learn that trick into powder but i have never once went up and built a booter to learn tricks. you just gotta do your best to throw down in the park and only do tricks when you are pretty confident with yourself. If you don't have confidence in yourself when trying a trick then don't try it yet. Just do more 5's until your super comfortable with spinning. btw spins, especially off small jumps are pretty hard to hurt yourself on so you shouldnt be too worried. I'll bet you'll try a 7 get pretty close and fall because you didnt completely commit, then once you fall you'll be like fuck that could have been so easy, you'll try it again and then you'll stomp the shit out of it the second time and wonder why you've been so worried about it. anywho have fun peace.
