Hahahaha. But I learned to spin switch right even though I spin left. Only because I'm an idiot and didn't bother learning to ski switch over my left shoulder

just spin the same way its not hard... the only difference is that you are going backwards but besides that dont think of it any different.

I used to spin switch unnatural but this season I learned spinning switch natural and it benefitted my switch spins/flips a lot.

Throw it with more spin and less flip than you would on tramp and take it to 7 instead of 5

Hey I had this same problem, trick I figured out is that the best way to spin while switch is the way u are looking over your shoulder

Wow. So almost none of you can actually ski switch outside the park? That's kinda sad.

this isn't a dumb question. most people when there learning how to ski and do spins on skis if they spin to the left like in your case they will first learn how to look over there right shoulder because when your learning how to 180 you want to be able to spot your landing the whole time so youl learn to look over your right shoulder so and you progress in skiing and learn switch tricks youl realize that you will have to learn how to look over your outer shoulder which sounds easy but it take a lot of time to be able to do or you will have to learn how to spin switch opposite.. that's why youl see most pros spinning both ways switch more then youl see them spinning both ways forward.

not a retarded question. i spin right foreward, but when im switch its natural to look over my left shoulder, so i spin left.

switch blindsides are a lot easier than normal switch spins imo
