I carve all switch spins a little bit. Also make sure you spot it sorta like a 5, otherwise you'll land sideways.

i personally can't do one. But my buddy threw a few of them today. he just carves into the jump relatively fast, hucks it, and keeps his eyes on the landing.

Carve into the jump a little bit, do some switch ones first then go for it. Just relax. If you huck it to soon your frront tips will catch on the lip.

The hardest part is just getting off the takeoff clean. Once you can do that with confidence you can pretty do any switch spin.

this. Once you get used to the takeoff spinning switch feels normal.

I come up to the jump looking over my right shoulder (I do switch spins unnatural.) I don't think of spinning really, I just pop and since you are already spotting over your shoulder you will start to spin, after you get to 180 look for the jump, don't look at the landing or you'll stop your rotation.

do a switch one and when you come around just look back up the hill and your body should follow.

me too, i learned sw 3 before a normal 3, that is because you are always spotting your landing, you never spot looking.

same as switch 180 just keep spotting they are pretty easy because you can spot your landing the whole trick
