| 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. _________________ Im sick of seeing these posers with 50k boats who can't even wakeboard. |
