Are Switchups Cool?

Do you consider switchups to be a cool trick to watch in edits? I feel like it gets to the point where there's like 50 switchups in every edit and it's like ok I get it, you can change the direction you're sliding.

as long as you do them with different combinations and if there are both natural and unnatural.

Jewschoolersi dont see the point when you could just do a lip on blind 2

You can't really do any other trick because that is the only trick

Yeah, I like a disaster/gap to a donkey or something. Not all switchups suck, but a lot of em sure do.

Seeing a switchup 270 out on a rail is much more impressive than a straight hit.

granted, I'd much rather see a good tailslide blind 2 (but a good one, not like where the skier pretends to take a shit on the rail)

id say in certain instances yes, but either way they are definitely a good trick to add to your bag of tricks.
