I find it easier to spin a blind side just because it continues with my spin onto the rail, but its harder to land , because you really have to come all the way around and look at the end of the rail, just keep up that practice, since your landing on the down sections REALY have to make sure your weight is foward, or else your gunna end up on your ass

i like regular because blindside scares the shit out of me for some reason, and if you switch on to the rail/box its much easier to to regular switch ups

regular sw ups = easier
blindside sw ups = more fun/steezier

regs look lamee, and are so much easier. dont do them untill you got bs worked out. and you may need to take a day and learn to slide unnatural. your probably sliding out cause you cant slide the other way

i like blindsides cuz i spin left and get on the rail/box right foot first but its hard with the momentum shifting you in the direction of a regular sw-up

agreed compleatly. just commit to the spin and bring it all the way around with your shoulders and hips. for me its also a little easyer to spin bs switch ups if you dont lock on to the first part of the rail, then when you land on the second half. slide like any other rail/box/ect.

if your sliding out, its cuz your weight isn't foreward. im having trouble with that too, and when im 270 dystar onto a short rail with a steep down.
