yeah so i have a big problem with looking over my left shoulder while riding switch but im super comfortable riding looking over my right shoulder but the only problem is thats not the way i spin
and when i do 540's i stop 360 and turn my head so i can land my 5 looking over my shoulder to the right but i get it around
anyone wanna give me some tips?

just practice switching shoulders on groomers, carving back and forth helps a lot, just switch shoulders naturally while skiing

pretty soon you'll get comfortable with it

im trying that but it is just so weird
when i go onto rails i look over my right shoulder so it works ok for that
but when i get onto the easy stuff i can do it
then i start riding into a jump and i end up looking over my right shoulder and then just at the lip i throw it to the left and its super bad

I think its just one of those things you have to try until you get, seriously just look over your unnatural shoulder whenever you can, eventually you won't notice a difference

well you might also wanna try looking up hill when you land switch. just for a second, then once you're in control look over whatever shoulder you want.
