Why don't pros hardly ever do switch front flips?

[ski4fun420]

They look so awesome and sketchy on video. Especially switch front double or with a truckdriver.

 

[I.B]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN THINKING ABOUT.

SWITCH FRONTFLIP IS NOT FUTURE SPIN.

 

[FUUUCK]

they're pretty high risk to learn, you won't use them in comps, and they're not all that cool.

 

[THEDICKBUTCHER]

because front flips are gheyy. Everyone knows that.

 

[ski4fun420]

I think they look cool and super sketchy. Maybe its just me

Except Christien Bier. Mr. Switch Triple!! I seen him skiing the park at Mammoth 2 years ago. He did a switch front truckdriver. It really looked so sick!! That guy shreds it super hard. My friend posted it on youtube.

bahahahahaha me too +K

 

[Hogis]

Supersketchy trick and not really tech either.

Blind the whole way through, not worth it.

 

[Dr.Gonzo]

i hated this, PK threw down a way better trick and still lost, i remember it like it was yesterday.

 

[ski4fun420]

I only care because I think they look super sick!! Also,I was looking for an answer and I got a few.... Like a couple other replies stated, nobody does them cool either. Also stated above its super sketchy, blind and maybe Christien Bieri might have taken the steam out of this trick too. Thanks for the replies. Peace

 

[BolderPro]

They Do!!!

[-GL-]

you're on fire tonight

 

[jibpig]

didnt the 16 yr old kid in the X Games big air do a switch double misty 1660? no wait he definatley did so yah...

 

[dbchili]

They're entirely blind. You come around blind in the flip and you're landing backwards. And so they're scary and don't look cool

 

[2_fadez]

completely irrelevant
