other than flip tricks and front bigs i have most of the flats tricks, so i wanna learn how to do switch tricks this weekend. i can kind of ollie and i have alot of control but any tips for shuv and stuff would be helpful.

Bustamove, its the same as regular. You just have to get used to riding and popping that way. Everything is essentially the same.

I do a set completely switch everytime I go out now.. I started just cruising and doing switch lipslides and then started working on ollie's and fs 180's.. i was really frontfoot heavy at first but i just focused on standing tall and slow edges and now i got switch shuvs first try.

Bustamove, these guys are fvcking douche bags sometimes,

I've learned that if your riiding fins, put yuour front foot a little bit farther back then you would on regular stuff, that will help out alot. Also bend your knees when you land, alot of people have sketchy switch stuff casuse the land all strait legged. Learn switch bs shuv out, its the easiest switch trick ever, and if your not using fins, switch fs shuvs are crazy easy...

toeside switch shuvs for some reason are easier but get switch front and back one's for sure
