off of big tables do you think it is easier to try 180s switch first?

switch ones are easier, but thats just because i'm on teles. but reg 180s feel alot better, cuz landing switch is more fun.

it depends if your used to take off switch i think... but most of the times 180s off of huge tables take a lot more balance than off small tables.

how big of a table are we talking? 360s could be way easier if youre not used to landing switch, or sw 180s if you can take off switch.

180s off big tables, you need to keep your weight center and not get messed up in air. make sure your always lookin at the landing and not landing blind.

if you are going to do a 180, make sure you spot your landing properly and make the landing. if you dont, you will fall or case which could send you flying while dying. if you are comfortable with switch takeoff's, by all means go for one. the landing would probably be easier but make sure your tails dont catch on the takeoff

if you already know how to do a switch 180 off a small jump I would go for it. just try it, that's the only way to learn

normal 180 are easier than sw 180 because the problem with the speed is nod so big as you go switch..

180s are the best trick to throw over huge tables, so much fun, but id say doing a 180 regular is easier then switch because when i do switch ones i pull up my skis and tweak them so i go off axis some times
