I’m frustrated but was getting switch ups on a box but can’t get it on tube. Same with front 270 off on tube.

you gotta pop and commit to it. tell yourself that you're gonna spin a 180 over top of that rail even if it kills you.

Keep trying that set-up looks pretty dope, put a slight amount of pressure on your front tippy toes just slightly before you go to pop into 180, then scissor it nicely. It's easy u just gotta keep trying.

In the first one, you did a good job pedaling (pushing you edge in)But make sure you get a good pop, the timing can be a bit difficult at first just keep practicing you'll get it.

You’re really close. At this point it’s just a mental game. You just have to pop and commit to the 180. Just make sure to land with you feet even.

Maybe try hitting the rail unnatural a few times and then go back to the switch up. It’ll give you a little more confidence on landing in your unnatural slide.

You might wanna try just stepping on the rail stationary and trying to 180 hop on it. That way you can get a good feeling for how scissoring and putting pressure on different places affects your spin, and also how to time it so that you complete the switch up.

You're definitely really close and it won't take much more for you to get them clean.

Get good at hitting the rail natural and unnatural. Hit it 5 times each way then try switch ups.
