stay right on top of your skis. try just going down a trail backwards untill you get comfortable then try like a fakie 180 or 360 and work your way up. dont puss out its not that hard and if you do youll probably get more hurt the you intended. Dont be a pussy about it.

make sure when you practice riding switch you look over the same shoulder you naturally spin. Thats really important even if its not comfortable at first it will become natural. just practice alot and youll get it. not as hard as it looks.

get your skiis in a stable shoulder width stance. look behind with your upper body- dont let the legs follow your head around. Its not very hard to do fakie 180s with no jump just by goin at a slow speed poping off the ground. start with that.

I am not doing the grabs because I am getting a thrill out of touching my ski-JP Auclair

find ure natural side, and look over that shoulder when hitin the jump. ure body will automatically spin. Just when u hit the jump, i sometimes like to lean a bit forward, i don't know why, but it seems to help me.
