get comfortable with the rail and when you are locked on turn your head the way you want to spin and look that way. Your hips will turn and jump and finish the spin. Its easy

if you naturally spin left, and you feel like doing right (fs) sw ups, learn taht first, because then when you go to learn bs it'll be even easier for you to learn those.

you probably just need to pop a lil more, you'll get it.

An fs switchup is just like a fs 270 out. I like to do them to fakie, simply because all you have to do is throw the fs 270 motion a bit early, land on the rail at 180, and then keep your head going when you get to the end.

Bs switchups are harder for me, but getting lots of pop is key.

Good luck.

also, they are easier to learn on boxes first if you are able to do that, at least to get the feel.

yeah i def found it easier to learn them on boxes then rails. just make sre you have the box dialed in, and pop a lot when your first starting them
