In this video I've got five tips to help your learn switch snowboard turns.
Having friends who are beginners is a perfect opportunity to force yourself to learn switch.
Seriously a great idea!
Totally done that too on several occasions riding with beginner friends
I was thinking the same thing while watching. I want to teach my brother how to snowboard this year and also need to practice my switch riding and thought that would be a good time to do so
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.
Great tips I am at stage of spinning in snow and frankly that is helping so much to be confident on snow on non-dominant leg.
This feels like the perfect vid to bring back shu! Some good tips here but i also find just riding backwards is a good way to build the skills…
Its funny, the other day I was just thinking, " this season I want to practice riding switch more" and then you post this video lol. Thanks for the tips as always!
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.
lmao i do the same thing, theres been a few days where im like im going to just dedicate my day for switch and after like 10min i give up and go riding normal again and do jumps tricks
Great tutorial
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.
chuck work on front side and back side 180's to get use to lead changes!
Don't be afraid just do it with confidence I'm going snowboarding for the first time on Wednesday 12/21/22 and it's something that I wanted to try for awhile and the opportunity came and I'm excited to shred some snow will let you know how it went
@@sheldenadkins9773 Can't believe you left us hanging like that 😢
@@Catcrumbs sorry 🤣🤣🤣 lol I busted my ass so many times lmao I skipped instructions and just went full send but did the blue run 3 times but I went on a day where the hill was icy the board was sticky but I somehow naturally went down the hell with toe side to mountain heel side down I felt I was more comfortable that way but know watching this video i learned that i have to buy my own board instead of renting
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 🤦🏻♂️😂
Keep trying you’ll get it! Maybe try on a more mellow slope.
You’re not alone I think that’s where a lot of people learning switch are at. It’s so frustrating cause my regular way is feeling smooth and I know I have the ability
I just made it up myself and showed it to my brother on my 2nd time snowboarding and he said wow u did a switch.
👍 by the way, what camera are you using?
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
I find +12 and -9 works a bit better.
Hey man im going to keyston on January 5 to the 10th would love to meet up with you
lol that instructor "amazing" snuck in.
Do you need to adjust the bindings to be even to try switch? Or am I not smashing my head with the original settings?
You can ride switch with most stance setups. A twin stance is probably best.
@@SnowboardProCamp thanks so much for the answer! Def trying it out next week 🤗
What stance is better for learning to ride switch?thanks
Read that question back to yourself and think about it.
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.
When i started learning how to ride switch, was i also strap my binding on swith position....
A twin stance with the same angles on both bindings can help for leaning switch
If u made another channel that was mirrored to u riding regular I would watch it more thad b awesome 😅
Call it “snowboard pro camp regular foot” channel
some times watching right footed rider can confuse the drill because you do have to reverse the idea we agree!
Riding switch is so aqward to learn hahah
Just gotta commit a whole day to it
My season ended before it began :(
Injury??
@@poli3205 yeah, I fractured a kneecap two seasons ago and messed up the nerves and now I can't snowboard, skate, ski or anything for who knows how long
@@lynxone9434 hope u recover properly and get to ride again
damn :(
Riding regular gets boring, I ride switch most of the time now.
First :)
Yooo u beat me
All I saw in the video was just making spinning turns…
Toe back to heel get swirly
