would u say sw2s are easier or normal 2s?
In my head I feel like sw2 should be easier cause you're facing forward the whole way but when I try it I can't really spin
Dlonettioh you’ve got em they’re chill it’s just a quick turn of the hips try on an easy tube

sw 2s do kinda feel easier now but it wasnt always that way. once i learned the technique for switch 2 i realized its just flipping your hips and your head stays looking at the rail the whole time. kinda have to feel the separation of your lower half and upper half during the trick. regular 2 ons you have to look away during the rotation but im so used to them at that point it doesnt feel hard. now with sw 2s i feel like if I can sw lip something, i can sw lip 2 it.

I kinda got switch 2s my second season of skiing rails but it took another couple years to get forward 2s. I think they're way easier

Catching tails is scarier than catching your tips

I definitely find forward 2 easier than switch 2, especially on taller urban rails

I haven't been out as well. I have to drive a few hours one-way to ski a few hundred vertical feet on manmade snow. Really doesn't give me the desire to get out. Going to try and get back over to Utah, Idaho, Wyoming in February and hit the hills I grew up on.

Practice some 180s on the bigger jumps to get used to landing switch on them
