Tore my calf last spring when doing my first switch fives. Problem was landing super back seat and it let to various weird crashes. Last of them my right ski got weirdly stuck underneath me, swiveled to switch, with all of my weight over it, stretching the calf to a point where it tore, so wasn't able to do pretty much anything. Haven't tried one this season but feel like it would soon be achievable. I'm comfortable hitting small to medium size kickers switch and doing switch 180 & 360.
The easiest way would be to cork it, but that feels way too scary for now, so there's two options left, right?
Picking my feet up at 270 or setting the rotation more forward. Which one you prefer and why? Setting forward feels almost as scary as setting more back towards a cork.
