Trying to work switch lip ons. Although right now neither way feels very comfortable with urban style lips. Any advice?

My main advice would be you might as well learn it at 25 miles an hour or higher. Then at least it’s cool for other people to watch

Practice late switch 180s on jumps where you shifty 180 switch!and go to forward towards the end.

keep those toes up! Like consciously arch them up and wait a little longer than expected to rotate them around on

You want a slight angle so try and pop off your inside/outside edges that are facing the rail.

and cannot stress this enough: just make sure those tips get over the rail.

The higher the rail is I like to come at it faster and further out on the lip. I also have a habit of coming out really wide then carving in closer because of this I build really wide lips onto rails.
