About how long did it take you to learn em? I was being dumb and decided to try them going really slow and it didnt work out. It was just a wierd feeling, but i want to learn switch-ups. Any advice?

Yeah, don't think about it as anything different, just do it as you do your normal railslides.

Just learn to switch up. Then the unnatty will just happen because you arn't thinking about it. I can 270 and switch up just fine but sliding an easy rail unnatty is a bit tricky cause I think about it. And at the very least if you just switch up you don't have to slide a whole rail the wrong way, just a bit.

it doesn't change a lot of thing just think it's your normal way and the more you do it the more it'll be the same

just remember everything you do when you slide normally. unnaty does feel really awkward but you just gotta deal with it.

^ Yup, all it is is pratice. I learned on some pcp piping and it took about a few minutes of sessioning to get it down.

I learned them by jumping on the rail with the other foot foward. Weird huh. But seriously, just practice em. It feels weird at first but as you do it more, it starts to feel better.
