just was wondering about this. Which one did you learn first and which one was easier. I know a lot of it makes a difference of which way you spin or which foot is forward.

i did sw 2 before reg 2.. not sure exactly why but i always find i can see sw 2 easier in my head because your never blind while spinning. all depends on what you feel comfortable with

Yesterday I was trying both and I was closer with the switch 2 on because you just like unwind your body

I find a lot of people learn switch 2's first because people learn 2's on on flat boxes. I think a forward 2 on is much easier on an urban on rail

Forward 2 is probably easier. I am working on sw 2 on to a pvc but i have still not completed one completely. I learned forward 2s on first. I would say go for that, or whatever you feel more comfortable in stance

The thing about switch 2 on, is that you have to be really good at switch 3's and just riding switch; you also have to be patient on the take off. Once you can set them they are super easy though!

switch 2s (for me) are easier because
1. you can see mostly everything
2. when i do switch 2s i land natural on the rail instead of unatty

you get to spot your landing throughout the entire rotation for a switch 2. thats why theyre much easier for me at least

switch 2 is easier for me because I can spin left and land right foot forward on the rail

sw 2 is easier but most ppl probably learn the normal 2 on first just because

Switch two one take more coordination ( for me at least since I land unnatty foot fwd) but 2 on takes more commitment and trust in yourself ( especially for urban)

No idea which I learned first onto boxes but on rails switch 2s is allot easier and less scary for me at least.

I learned 2 on first.

Also, so I don't have to make another thread, how the fuck do you spin on boxes and dance floors. Whenever I go to spin a 3 or a 5 on a dance floor I get half way and slide out onto my hip. What can I do?

Stand vertical barely need any edge raised on butter pads.
