Wanna try out some switch 2 onto rails... which way do you guys find easier? Have done switch 2 onto a ride-on box but that doesn't rlly count.

Let me know what you think, or give some tips! Thx.

sw tails 2 all day. Lip 2's of any sort are terrifying for me

for me sw lip 2 is easier, might just be me but I'm always afraid of hitting my tails on the rail on the first 90 degrees doing sw tails 2.

I learned sw tails 2 a while ago and have a very sketchy sw lip 2. Plenty of people I know had the opposite learning experience, so I think it comes down to how confortable you are switch skiing. With sw lip, I feel like I can pull my legs up and bail easily, where I have to be able to pull my tips up enough to not catch the rail. Honestly, I’d recommend trying both on a small rail and see what feels better. I first trued both on a sketchy corrugated tube with barely any snow and some salt, then tried them in a park once I had the chance.
