yeah so yesterday opening day..there was a flat box i was playyin around with and i tried a switch up and i was getting around but not enough, and catching edge (prolly cuz recently sharpened) how do i make it so i can complete the switchup instead of like only turning a little more than 90 degrees
should i take eyes off end of rail?
or turn shoulders?

grip with your front foot, but keep your body at 90 degrees or even past 90, and then set your swap.

if you are doing it on a box, it could be hard to get a grip. try switch on sw up , making your rotation flow trought the feature . if you want to lurn a real sw up , try it on a rail , way easier to get a grip on a rail . keep your shoulders and hands looking down and bring your hand to your front hip . the last sentence goes for a box too.
opening days are always weird anyways, give you self a chance
sorry for the late reply ,this on slip throu my hands...
