stagger your feet(if you spin left have your left foot leading), pop, start the rotation after you pop so you dont catch your skis on the lip.

the more you ride sw , the more confortable youll be. its like lurning to ski again. from the last jump the lift , ride switch . the park is close for this and that reason , ride switch . you got noting to do , ride switch . practice is the secret . one run looking over the left shoulder , the second looking over the right one , the 3rd one both . practice practice practice... one day youll get it.
i used to have a hard time riding switch , the i saw charles gagnier riding switch in the bumps , i aked him why? he said cause i need o get better at riding switch ...
