ride switch more. try going out and riding switch for the whole day, you'll get better faster though you might suck and get frustrated. after that, then try the ollie, just like regular stance, just opposite feet.

by being able to ride switch well, you can land tricks switch, maybe even take off switch, but you'll feel way more comfortable on the board than not knowing switch.

Yea I have the same problem and the same with skating I think that for me switch ollie might be one of the hardest things to learn to do...... It is just so akward

I wish you could nollie on wakeskates, that would make everything just that much easier...being able to ride on the nose. Mr. Green

practice practice practice. sorry, I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but that's it. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to practice riding switch whenever you skateboard, snowboard, etc.

Well I'm sure he is practicing, but there is obviously a flaw in his practicing routine...it's not like its just suddenly going to coordinate and happen, it should be happening over time as he sees progress, not just nothing for long periods of time. Do you have a skateboard? Go out in your driveway and do some switch nollies, get your coordination down good, then try a switch ollie. When you go to the lake just try jumping the wake switch, get the hang of being in the air and landing, then apply your skateboarding technique to the actual ollie.
