not too many people still practice this, but its when you look over the opposite shoulder you're going to take off from while riding switch. i  noticed moxham does one in the recent hood edit.
im pretty sure this was frowned upon back when cab10 was the money trick, but i think its freestyle, and looks sick.

It's definitely not as smooth, but I do it sometime when doing switch spins onto rails. It gives you a little wind up for spinning quicker.

its a little scary since you're blind to the lip for a little but it helps you wind up and spin faster

max hill is all about this too.

honestly I think it looks weird, most people who do it are so used to looking over one shoulder when they ski switch that they aren't comfortable hitting a jump switch looking the other way even if that's the way they spin.

Seems like it would be legit with a switch 1 or 3. Maybe zero spin and shifty one way but keep your head the other.

Usually it seems just like you're not as good of a switch rider. But i thought moxham's was fucking dope.

BLENDER?

So what you are saying is he couldnt look over the proper shoulder for spinning that direction? A lot of people used t do that, but got made fun of, and then learned properly.

Man, I have an old Fischer poster with Rishie Paradise, Kyler Kooley, and AJ Burton on it. I was wondering what happened to them.
