I was just wonderin if anyone else thinks that switch ones look pretty sick. i dont know if its just me or not but i think switch ones look pretty damn steezy if theyre done slow off a 20 ft gap or bigger. ther so easy to do but they look so sick, but thats just my opinion

truth...why are you judging tricks by they way they look? it's all about how it FEELS not how it looks. if you like sw 1's then by all means do sw 1's don't restrict yourself from doing the tricks you want because of the way you think they look.

Switch 1's and 3's are pretty sick, super easy to learn, and they look so good when throw a shifty in there.

alright a zero spin is a switch straight air.

so a switch zero spin would be a regular straight air? and no straight airs are not cool.

Switch 1's are the best trick ever. I could do them all day!

Find the biggest jump on the hill. Pin into it with your bum sticking out. Float a nice slow spin for the whole jump. Heavy head the landing. Grin to the lift.

Chuck in a blunt grab if your feeling badass.

i love it when coming in regular, come off the lip, turning my entire body around, grab uncrossed blunt, and bring it around to a 1. those make my day

sw 1's are hands down my favorite trick. Also the most fun. big jumps are the best for them cuz you can make them super floaty

honestly a well styled 180 is a very attractive looking trick whether a regular 180 or a switch one. i was doing switch ones with double blunt today and my friends all said they looked really nice.

Especially when T-Hall does it with extreme steeze over massive gaps. Completely fresh.
