one thing I did to get used to riding switch was starting up switch so you're already riding it and then just ride around and get used to the feel of it.

remember how you learned how to wakeboard? well switch is basically for some leaning it all over. remember to ride with 2 hands, hips forward, shoulders back. Video tape your self riding switch, then you will see what your doing wrong.
