Why don't pros hardly ever do switch front flips?

They look so awesome and sketchy on video. Especially switch front double or with a truckdriver.

they're pretty high risk to learn, you won't use them in comps, and they're not all that cool.

Except Christien Bier. Mr. Switch Triple!! I seen him skiing the park at Mammoth 2 years ago. He did a switch front truckdriver. It really looked so sick!! That guy shreds it super hard. My friend posted it on youtube.

Supersketchy trick and not really tech either.
Blind the whole way through, not worth it.

I only care because I think they look super sick!! Also,I was looking for an answer and I got a few.... Like a couple other replies stated, nobody does them cool either. Also stated above its super sketchy, blind and maybe Christien Bieri might have taken the steam out of this trick too. Thanks for the replies. Peace

They're entirely blind. You come around blind in the flip and you're landing backwards. And so they're scary and don't look cool
