riding switch

[trebor]

when i started skating no one told me that you should learn to ride switch early on and now ive been skating for five months and i cant even turn switch
how do i get better at switch

You practice more. That's all there is to it, just don't push mongo (using your front foot to push).

it's just like learning to ride all over again. just push around and try some ollies. also try some switch pop shuvs, they aren't that hard. and try some fakie tricks, it will get you used to landing switch. and believe me, you'll fall a couple times.

There's nothing wrong riding mongo for switch.

Just push slowly and just learn to balance and ride all over again.

So it's ok to ride mongo in your normal stance? It's still mongo, which looks horrid and takes long to set up for tricks. It's better to learn to push switch normally than to push switch mongo. It develops your skating muscles evenly too.

I didn't say normal, i said switch.

Yes i reccomend you to push regular switch, but if you can't i said theres nothing wrong for pushing mongo switch.

I'm still uncomfortable as **** with Switch.

I can do shuvs and 180's and stuff, but they are sloppy as hell, and I can't even cruise right yet, it's a working progress though.

Just keep riding Switch, do it as often as possible, it'll take time just like it took time to learn regular.

I meant you were saying that it's ok to push mongo in switch, and switch is basicly the same thing except only the other way. To any normal person, switch would look the same as normal, so they probably won't be able to tell the difference, and would think your a retard for pushing mongo.

Yeah when I started building up my switch stance then sometimes I have to actually think about what stance I am regularly. It's weird. :P

[Greenday]

Ya that happens to me a lot. Sometimes I'm in switch and I'm getting ready for a trick and then I freak out because for some reason it feels akward, then I figue out I'm in switch.

Switch just naturally came to me after a while. I was just practicing switch shove-its then it was like- Boom.

Switch can be really fun at times.

how do i get better at switch

I didn't start skating switch until, maybe a year and a half in. it doesn't make that huge of a difference, if you can't do anything regular why try and excel in switch?..

[cordell]

Starting today im gonna start riding switch! And i won't stop until i can switch ollie.

[TrAnCe]

I dislike Switch very much; its like starting over. All I can do is a switch front shuv, and only sometimes (yeah, I still cant get back shuvs Regular SHIT!) but sometimes when I'm thinking how shit I am, I ride switch for a bit to see how un-easy the stuff I can do Regular is.. if that makes any sense.

Switch ollies already? I think that's better than not turning.
