Switch jumps

I used to be able to do switch 3s & 5s (small & ugly, but I could do them) & then I stopped doing them for a while, & now I have completely lost the ability to hit jumps switch. I can ski switch pretty well, I was just wondering if this has happened to anybody else & if anyone has some tips for me to try to get it back.

I think my biggest problem is that I can't figure out how to pop off the jump switch.

I know I used (actually still do sometimes) catch my edge. With switch spinning, you naturally want to spin earlier for some reason, so be patient and wait an extra 2 feet or so and it should be fine. I make sure I do that every time now because I broke my collarbone over a channel gap last time I spin too early.

I find I'm much more comfortable riding switch if I'm drunk. You could try that.

Yeah I can't really figure out how to pop off a lip switch either, hits that I normally would have no trouble hitting and boosting just fine, for some reason I just like roll over them while riding switch.

smoke some dank ass headies and it'll relax you enough so you don't begin your spin too early...also make you loser so you can be more chillaxed in the air
