for switch ones just try and start out small and keep practicing  and if you are going to spin to the right look over your right sholder when you go up to the jump .

make sure you're carving off the lip. a big mistake that most people have learning switch take-offs is that they're skiing on both of their inside edges when they take-off. this will cause the leading ski to catch an edge, subsequently causing the skier to die in a firey ball of pain and misery off said jump. learn to ski switch REALLY well before you start jumping...and I mean learn how to carve both ways and stuff.
