    Having friends who are beginners is a perfect opportunity to force yourself to learn switch.

      Yeah exactly. If Im going up with a new person Ill ride switch all day. Its not a good pacing though so it sorta doesnt work... (and as someone who maybe gets 10 days on the snow per year, its quite hard to dedicate one to switch)

      I’ve actually been riding switch while my gf’s brother is still learning to carve. We’re on the same page and I’m riding switch. Riding switch about 25% of the time.

    Any time I want to learn to do some basic tricks etc I tell myself that I have to really learn switch first and I'll admit that I really struggle with number 5. I need to head out by myself and just put a day in with this but most times I go with friends and its just a normal riding day then.

    If you ride regular on snowboard and goofy with skateboard you guys think with is going to help with switch ride on snow?
    I started skate this year for off season practise and i found it easier with the goofy stance but with snowboard i am regular rider!

    For me switch heel side turns are fine, toe side feel turns feel very awkward and fill me with fear even at low sleeds.
    Pretty sure what I need to work on is thepositions of my hips and lead knee / shoulder.

    When trying switch I always struggle to keep the weight on my front foot into the turns, it just feels so unnatural and sketchy but that is actually making me fail more 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

    Kevin, what are your thoughts on adjusting stance angles? I'm riding front+18 and back -6 and think this might be not ideal to try switch. thanks

    Do you need to adjust the bindings to be even to try switch? Or am I not smashing my head with the original settings?

    • @SnowboardProCamp

      You can ride switch with most stance setups. A twin stance is probably best.

      Intermediate-ish snowboarder here (decent on blues, bad mogul technique) but I put a lot of time into switch riding. I like duck stance, +15/-15 angles, obviously on a true twin board. Point is to minimize the differences between normal and switch riding.

      A twin stance with the same angles on both bindings can help for leaning switch

      some times watching right footed rider can confuse the drill because you do have to reverse the idea we agree!
