^ Precisely, then all you need to do is combine with the ups.
Simple.

On a serious note. For front side switch, drop your edge, pop, and rotate your hips

Many troll here lololol. But srsly, even tho i cant really switch up, scissoring is the way to go. And just get super comfy on rails/tubes. Switch ups on boxes are haaaard. And you never really just jumo and switch, you have to use your edge.

try it on a fat tube and dig those edges in! once you feel them start to rotate, pop and swing your hips over

You cant really give a tip for switchups except scissor, you kind of just do them. Make sure you are comfortable sliding both ways though

When I learned to front swap I just thought of it as an early front 270 off. Worked for me
