Learning switch is a must for anyone whose serious about boarding. At some point you just gotta admit that bombing that Red or Black on your regular stance just isn't pushing you forward anymore. Sure you might feel like a total noob that first day of riding switch, but after that you can begin coasting down the hardest terrain in either stance. Worth it in my opinion for looking like a noob briefly while learning. I've practiced so much switch riding that the casual observer probably can't tell which leg I favour, way more impressive than gunning past some poor noobies trying to tackle their first Red. Don't stick to being an average boarder, become a great boarder!

Didn't think id pick it up and improve until towards the end of the season but with your help I was nailing at least 5-6 of these before lunch on my first day of switch! Now I need to go back and get myself up to 10! Thanks a lot for your videos, time, and help!

Yo Kevin, I watched all of your beginner videos prior to going up on the mountain - this past weekend was my 3rd/4th time up and I managed to get my heel side down, practiced toe side, started linking turns, and went to the top of the mountain we were at with my friends and managed to get down it without any major falls (first time doing S turns on it without knowing it until my buddies who were slowly sliding around me to watch called me out for doing it right) Thanks for your videos, I still watch them in-between studying waiting for the next time I will go up - its been about 5 years+ since I learned how to snowboard so this was a great intro to get back into it for me. I think I will be looking to buy my own gear soon :)
