ok so the other day i was practicing 3s and 7s in the pipe. i have this problem that when i land switch in the pipe i get pulled forward into the tranny. usually its not a prob because i finish my run with a switch landing trick, but when i lean forwards like that my brakes usually lower a little and get stuck in the snow..bending. 2 questions: either how do i land so that im not pulled into the tranny or, what do i tighten to keep the brakes from lowering when i press forward on my skis?

if you keep landing switch it will start to feel more natural and go away

do u mean landing switch in general or landing switch in pipe. I land switch a lot outta the pipe and it feels natural, i can land nice in the pipe switch too, but i just have trouble keeping speed up and getting the right angle on the next hit to get any air.

I have that problem a bit too. I wanna be able to come down switch, pump the wall and Gain speed like I do forwards, not lose it.

keep trying air to fakie's to get the hang of the fakie landing. tighten up your hips and abs and let your knees go to the tranny.

Yeah, I'm not too good at doing it myself just because of a lack of confidence, but I know that you need to just get comfortable leaning backwards when you're going switch. Just trust that your twins will hold. This'll also help you carry more speed.

Emo kids don't cry because they're sad all the time, they cry because they have to listen to that horrible music all the time. I'd cry if i had to listen to that whiny music over and over and over....wouldn't you?

(I'm in a band, go to purevolume.com and check out East Coast Skank. Our recording sucks, but bear with it...)
