Landing switch on rails/boxes

I need some input on this, is it easier to land switch or regular when you're jibbing? For me it is definitely switch, coming off regular just seems 10 times harder. The thing is though is that I hear, "Good job on that slide, now try to land switch." and other stuff like that. What do you guys have to say?

I think it is easy because if you are just doing a regular on/switch off slide, you don't have to work against your momentum to come off. It is kinda like a pretzel for a regular on/regular off thing.

the reason it is easier for you to land switch is probubly because you are spinning to much onto the rail or box

its likely because you spin naturally to one side, so its easiest to spin to that sid.e

Its easier to come off switch i think cause your momentum is kind of turning you that way, at least on a box, but for rails its pretty much the same to come off either way other than that it looks different

just on flat rails etc, i find it easier to fs 270 out than to come off regular.

switch is harder for me, but neither are a stretch of my skill.

i used to always come out switch but after you get more confortable with rails and jibs in general you notice how much sicker and easier it is to come out both ways. it gets really easy

you probabaly keep spinning once you get on the box or the rail and then you end up just coming out switch

Pretty even for me, i usually position my body as i get on the rail to how i want to come off, usually.

yeah i think they are about the same...the more you slide rails and boxes the more you will realize what kind of pressure to add to each foot or which way to turn your body and you will have it on roll call the more you practice

there the same for me, and as for 270 off backside is easier on boxes cause i just maintain my momentum, but fronside is easier on rails, same for switchups

the funnest thing is comming off a high rail or box...in the air stay sideways with a big safety grab or make it look like a shifty and then stomp it to switch at the last second, thats the shit right thurr, and if you cant do that, come out straight, because switch is for gays
