I have this thing about looking over my shoulder. See since I learned to jump on to rails switch before I learned how to jump switch I feel more comfortable looking over my right shoulder but I spin left. looking over my right shoulder just sking I am fine but when I go towards a jump I seem to lose my ability so see where I am and pop at the right time? I dont know if anyone is gonna get this but if anyone has similar problems and an answer on how to feel more confortable looking over my left shoulder it will be greatly appreciated.....thanks

it might be because you're looking 270 degrees away from where u need to maybe. i mean like you're looking the opposite side ur spinning to so you might not be able to see everything.... try to get used to look both ways

yea, like when your skiing down the mountain switch you can practice looking both ways when your turning, because when you turning right while riding switch, looking over your right shoulder becomes blind so you gotta look over your left, and the same thing goes for when turning left you look over your right shoulder. so practice that

Just pracitce that's all I can say. We have a ridge at my hill that's about 500 yards long. I just ski down it switch all the time and try to get confortable looking over both shoulders.

This year I hope to see more kids incorporating newschool with big mountain riding and getting out of the park.-Matt Levintal

ive got the same problem, and im pretty sure all its going to take is practice to get the other shoulder down.






I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day

actually i heard it is good technique to approach the jump looking over the opposite shoulder of the way your going to spin that way when you throw you will then look over the other shoulder and it will help your rotation. it sounds like it would make sense

just practice cruising switch a lot, alternate shoulders you look over, it will come easier if you practice.

stop being a bitch and just practice looking over both soulders. you dont need to go to a message board to figure that shit out.
