practice a lot you switch 180 before this. to be able to ''control'' yourself in the air

when your switch just throw your arms more than when your not switch pop hard and when you give your swing with your arms swing them completely to the other side of your body not over your head about your shoulder hight

they're so fun

just remember that you dont need to start spinning until pop and leave the lip

if you do start your spin too early, you might catch an edge and eat it on the lip of the jump

do alot of switch ones and just sorta over rotate a switch one spot your landing after one and bring it around.
its realy not much more than a switch one and you dont have to set up a ton for it

It's a super easy trick once you land one or two of them, it's all in the shoulders. Just start to turn your shoulders downhill as you get off the lip and start looking for the jump again, it's not hard at all to get around.

i stomped some of my first ones today off bigger jumps. You just gotta go in like your gona do a sw 1 but just take off with a little more spin and the secnod u pass 180 you will go for the full sw 3.

first spring off the jump, then set your rotation. if you start your rotation too early, you will catch an edge. also, spot your landing. with any switch rotation, 360 and under, you can keep your eyes on the landing all the way through the spin.
