Payoff at the end is what I'm looking forward to.

I learned more about snowboarding and how a board works by riding switch. I am self taught since 1990, so when I taught my wife and youngest daughter how to ride, and they ride the opposite way to me, I wanted to figure out how to explain to snowboard correctly. I wanted them to learn as quickly and painlessly as possible. So I rode switch full time and really tried to understand how every movement from head to toe affects a turn. I got them both riding confidently in half a day, but a bonus that I didn't expect is that my forward riding improved as I am more able to understand how the body and board work together. Every snowboarder needs to try it. All the best, Rich in Sweden.

Agreed 100% Many movements happen naturally in your normal stance that it makes it hard to explain. Riding switch would force you to break down those movements and communicate how you're using your body.

Another piece of that you aren't giving credit to, teaching. Teaching forces you to explain all the little bits that you may just know intuitively, which in turn makes it even clearer to you. Seems like riding switch forces you to almost teach yourself in a way

I think that's my biggest hurdle right now. I just rode day 2 and 3 of the season and I was really trying to focus on switch a lot more and as soon as I didn't consciously think about keeping over that front foot I was immediately on the back again catching and locking my edges like I was when I was a noob. Just sucks having to go through the whole tailbone pain thing again. I'm committed to improving this season though since I can shred steeps, groomers and trees regular with ease and really want to be able to focus on doing more than just straight airs on side hits and jumps.

For the last 14 years I've ridden a hardboot rig with very aggressive forward angles (55/45), so it's hard to ride switch and I'll only do it when absolutely necessary. But last week I got a softboot setup for one of my boards and went to 25/15. Noticed right away that switch was a lot easier (but I still suck at it). Your video has just given me the motivation to back the angles off some more, and start practicing switch.

@Woollzable Жыл бұрын

Can I ask, why do you ride with hardboots? Is it because you have a splitboard?

@coolbrotherf127 Жыл бұрын

I pretty much did the same thing when learning to ride my skateboard switch as well. I just had to do it as much as possible and eventually it felt less like skating backwards and just felt like skating. I was very wobbly at first, but it made me much more versatile later on. I agree that all beginners should start to learn to switch immediately after getting moderately comfortable with regular riding as being comfortable with either stance will make pretty much any kind of boarding much easier in the long run. It's a lot easier to learn it together from the beginning than to try to re-learn in switch after years of experience with only one.

@radosbarner1734 Жыл бұрын

I'm fairly new to this...but I can confidently say I'm trying to learn switch right from the start. From day one I felt strange riding only goofy or only regular, but comfortable on both, so I decided to just learn both. It's been rough, but it's also rewarding.

I feel this, I accidentally reversed my bindings when I bought my first board after learning on regular so I thought it was the boards fault when I was falling and for the longest time I couldn’t figure out that it was because I was riding goofy. It helped me out in the long run though so it was way worth it I guess haha.

@lukejuras8024 2 жыл бұрын

My big challenges last year were learning how to ride blacks/moguls switch and learning how to carve switch (on a directional board, duck stance). Learning to ride moguls switch has made me even better in moguls when I'm riding regular, and the same is true for carving. It really makes you understand the physics and muscles behind riding. As always, start slow and don't rush your progress or you could end up injured.

Same goes for skateboarding. I pushed my self to ride switch (goofy for me), and at first, I couldn't even balance, but now, after 2 straight days of pretty much only switch, I can kind of turn. Which is quite an improvement. Like he said, if you want to learn to ride switch, then you have to ride switch.

Started getting back into snowboarding recently in my late 30s after being a regular rider in my teens. Working on freestyle skills is incredibly fun and rewarding. Just started getting some switch turns in, ate shit HARD for the first time over and over. Great to be humbled but everything has come with progress. Even learning how to fall is a good thing. Thanks for the vid, a bit advanced for me but same idea, just keep building that skillset.

It's crazy how good you get a switch once you have kids and spend 3 years on beginner hills, watching your little shredders learn, and keep yourself challenged by only riding switch during that time. (Eventually, your kids grow into the black diamonds and you got a new skill, and new riding partners:)

One thing that helped me was skating on my irregular foot. I had picked up snowboarding last season and got my first board from my bro that rode regular while I started goofy. He had stomp pads that matched his side of riding and I decided to skate regular and learn how to carve goofy. One season later and now I’m carving goofy and starting to feel comfortable carving switch bc I’m used to having my other foot lead. What definitely helped was to start learning switch early. I was already trying to develop my carving so every now and then I’d try to switch (mostly fail) but over time do it more frequently until now where I try to dedicate more time to switch as I’m confident in riding goofy

I often have issues with leaning back too much when i get tired. That's when i will start riding switch. That way i trick my body and i'll lean much more forward. After a few weeks of riding i'm now as comfortable riding switch as regular. I'm no pro by any stretch of the imagination by the way. But it feels great being able to ride both ways. And my first days with my kid on the mountain it made it much easier to catch him when necessary because i didn't have to first get on the "correct" side of him.

Another benefit of learning how to switch is to get some rest in the front leg instead of just stopping in the middle of a slope. At least it's the reason that motivates me the most to learn but I'm afraid to do it because it feels so dangerous. I self taught how to snowboard and never really fell. I understood how to carve immediately without no prior riding skill. But to ride switch feels so awkward and scary. This video motivated me though. Thanks!

Still the first season and he hasn't quite picked it up yet but if it ends up being how he rides his scooter he doesn't really have a set way. Sometimes he's pushing regular, other times he's pushing goofy mondo. I guess this is a good thing for down the road! Fingers crossed he keeps up with it and doesn't switch back to skiing 🤣

Just out of curiosity, on switch days, do you also ride switch off of chairlifts and when one-foot skating?

Yes, full commitment 🔥 if you're hardcore

What should be the stance for switch? Directional or regular stance?

I like to ride 18,-12 but it comes down to personal preference

I suck at everything, jumps, boxes, rails, so riding switch is one of the most fun things for me

if you are comfortable at some angle riding regular, say 15, -6 ... i was always curious how if you ride switch, wouldn't it be awkward now that it's +6, -15? knowing this, would it be smart for a beginner to get comfortable riding symmetrical stance so when they do practice switch, it would feel the same?

This tutorial is my entire snowboarding experience. Any snowboarder that cannot skate or ride switch is a beginner level, if this comment offended you then you’re welcome. I just saved you the injuries

Switch day once a week? How often do you ride? Do you have a job? Do you live in a cave in the mountain? I feel lucky to ride every few weeks 😑

haha yeah... I only ride every couple weeks these days but back in the day I lived the snowboard bum lifestyle delivering pizza at night and shredding every day

I learned to ride switch by pure accident , when i first time went snowboarding i felt like my front leg should be left , and while i was learning to ride i was always switching to my right cuz it felt more confy , but i would still focus on going " forward " meaning my left foot would be in front ( since its the front of a board ) and thats my story , how to learn to ride switch just make a mistake :D .
