They are easy, look towards the sky when you set your spin. Then just follow through.

I would strongly recommend having your Sw 5's dialed and maybe even shady 7s before trying a switch rodeo. It's all about being comfortable setting bigger rotations while taking off switch and Sw 3s and sketchy 5's don't require as much force as a switch rodeo however Sw rodeos can also generate more rotation from poppy jumps setting you into the rotation so it all depends on the jump and how confident you're feeling. Also Sw rodeos despite the name are mistys that are backwards so it wouldn't hurt to be comfortable with those

I tried some tonight. It was off of a sketchy 10 foot jump with no landing, a huge lip, and little speed. I got the rotation around, but I was still slightly crooked on the landing. Any idea how to correct it? Or was it just the jump?

I should also add: I'll have access to better jumps tomorrow, so I plan on throwing more

I did a switch 5 and caught my tip on the takeoff and went into switch rodeo. I almost brought it around and am thinking of actually trying it. Should I?

Got them down today. It feels like a crooked switch 5. Go for it
