What are the keys to going off jumps switch? It seems that when ever I want to hit a jump switch at the last second I always screw up or I am not balanced, what do you do when you hit it switch?

don't lean foward, a lot of people lean forward when they're ridin switch and dont even notice it, make sure your not. Make sure your not turnin before u hit the jump, i've seen a lot of people do that too. I just don't lean forward, and pop as good as I can, and i can get pretty nice air switch.

I sometimes get anxious about spinning switch so i begin turn a second before jump. this is not good! i have had many embarrasing falls catching my edge on the lip of the jump.

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