OK so I have this nice little 6 ft pvc setup at my hill. It's a spine with a pvc on top so you can attack it from both sides or staright on...

Well i'm just learning switch ups and i'm having a hard time getting them down especially on this as it's really friggin high off the ground and pretty scary when you're standing on top of it

Whenever I try and scissor/switch up I always end up not getting all the way around and nutting myself

any tricks or edits to help me out?

if theres a longer rail try it on that cause 6 ft isnt really enough for a switch up if your still learning them

ya 15-20 feet is ideal for a backyard flat rail if you ask me, 6 feet is insanely short.

yeah it's at the local hill, sorry, not a backyard setup

I wish they had longer rails but they just have a ton of short one's and the one long one they have is used as a down rail now and it's INSANELY steep!

i had the same problem and what really helps is jumping.
when you lock in with your ski just jump the second you start to spin just hop!
