540 Switch ups

Has anyone seen a 540 switch up? It seems likely that someones done one but ive never seen one before. And given the fact that Cosco and Candide and Vanular are all uber retarded good on rails, it seems strange that we dont see more. Come to think of it, im surprised there hasnt been corked spins or inverts in a switch up......bail factor would be pretty big though.

Yeah corked switch up isnt likely, but lincolns and 540s are at least somewhat possible?

yea 540s are quite possible, i reckon a 720 switch up was posted recently actually. and I recall seeing 540s posted here last season too.

annything more then a 360 switch up is ugly and sloppy so i think thats where skiing should put up the red light. unless its a big gap between rails...then a 5 might look cool

sammy's in mind the gap is money, it's off axis too, not a whole lot but just enough to make it look even sicker.  It's on the same rail he does 360 switch up at the end of his segment in ski porn, don't know why PBP didn't get that shot

i think we should stop at 720 switchup. a 900 switch up would be absolutly retarded. unless you werent spinning like a top

the idea of doing more than a 360 switchup is to get good at it, so It won't look ugly and sloppy anymore. there should not be a red light really for any kind of progression in skiing tricks.

ive seen many people do them and it is a claim but i myself can do 540's, a guy has done a 720 switchup just look in top rated... i dont think it looks very good cause the rails or boxes? arent very high off the groud

youd have to be going soo fast to do a cork switchup, like basically fly on the rail and drop a shoulder as you flew off. then gap like 30 feet to another rail. Sounds like a fun ol time.

yea man that shits pretty fuckin impossible, i was thinking a cork 3 switchup but it really wouldnt look good cause it would be so fast, then i was trying as lincoln switchup but that was also really fuckin hard and i would just keep sliding out and smashing my back on the trap box
