Switch or Regular?

Wild-Willis · 2009-09-09 16:37:11

Which are you more comfortable with? I don't know why but I feel like its easier to spin more and grab easier taking off switch, and most of my friends are the opposite. Which do you prefer?

I prefer taking off and landing switch way more than regular.

i think its easier to land switch because you have more time to spot the landing instead of coming around blind and having to spot quickly to land forward

Switch landing for sure because the front of ur boot absorbs alot of the impact plus its more fun!!!!!!

Taking off switch and landing switch is my favourite for sure. To me i get nervous when going off forward on bigger jumps, and i just feel more comfortable taking off switch. And on the side note, i learned switch 7's a good month before i landed my first reg 7, wierrdddd

you get so much more props for landing switch. like if i hit a 50 footer and did a big floating 180 it would get more props than if i did a 3. so switch landing and both on the takeoff.
