Get ready for some serious hate.  Not just because this was in the wrong place.

I was trying to show that I can actually do the trick and show that it wasn't a fluke. I admit they aren't great swaps but still I just wanted to have proof I can do sketchy ones. I'm working on making them look not so gay so don't worry. And next time I won't post a video so don't worry.

try moving your shoulders when you switch up, not just your feet. it will look alot better

those are looking pretty good for your first ones. the only advice i'd give you is try coming out switch after the switch up, that way you'll get it all the way around, and then can later learn combos like k-feds and stuff

and personally i think it looks steezier if you come out switch on a short rail

Is it weird that I learned backside (blindside?) switchups first? Then onto to frontside

Thats pretty cool, and to the guy who said he learned backside switchups first I did as well and I don't think they are any harder.

No, I agree.  Skinny pants are for girls.  Not just in skiing, but in life in general.

Fair enough if you are riding a bike or skateboard though, getting huge jeans tangled in chains/wheels sucks.

yeah, try to continue your rotation after the front swap to switch. it will make it look less forced and overall cleaner. also try some backside swaps, in my opinion they look nicer and they are more fun
