youre gonna have to be more specific...
but do them first on boxes. then wider flat bars, then after that you'll be set on regular rails.
i find it very helpful to keep a little of your momentum from the 90 you spin onto the rail for the switchup. ...um not really sure what else to say, just try them on boxes then ask more specific questions

Once again, pratice. I feel like an idiot saying this over and over to people. There really is no advice out there that is remotely as good as experience.

^^^^ its what people need to hear. when people try something new, the think that if someone tells them how to do it, it will just come to them and they will nail it first try. fact is, what works for some people doenst work for others. youve got to practice and practice until youve got your shit taken care of. dotn be afraid to fall and just learn from what does and doesnt work.

Practice is the only tip anyone can give you because switch-ups are so simple, i mean all you do is pop and spin. I think the main thing is you have to be really comfortable on rails.

for a blinde side switch up for blindside off the rail the one MOST IMPORTANT thing is to keep spinning in the same direction you jumped onto the rail.
