Hope this tutorial helps you out with riding switch! Which tutorial would you like to see next?? 🤔

[@rageburst]

I've been using the chain fences of a tennis court to maintain the ride switch using my arms to move laterally. It's a long process, but you can learn other tricks at the tennis court too instead of just focusing on ride switch. Maybe fit in a Tokyo every so often.

i have my free Skates since one week and I'm able to ride a little bit down the hill but I'm now going for the switch

[@actionmarco8556]

Good idea using the quarter pipes for that bit of extra momentum. One other good thing might have been to tell viewers what "riding switch" means in the first place ;)

@Seth Duchemin riding in the other way ^^

[@ActiveBrothers]

great tipps! thanks!

[@sk8kar89]

Would practicing switch on a waveboard or ripstick help with being comfortable in the switch stance before moving onto freeskates? I am incredibly uncomfortable standing switch, even on a skateboard.

[@joshyanney6187]

I’m goofy so idk how u guys all do it😂

[@robaivideoz]

I just start 2 learn

[@kuemagecollector]

I can't even go straight when switch. I'm still a beginner freeskater and wanted to learn 180s but was thinking if I learn switch 1st then it would make it easy to do 180s.

[@sk8kar89]

I'm using a ripstick to ride switch, just to understand the mechanics of the switch stance before I do it on Freeskates

[@zalmantaichman3784]

can you do a review of the knockoffs (the twolions) and compare them please thanks

[@GabeAltier]

Unfortunately I no longer have those knockoffs... I'll just be super quick and tell you the JMK's are 100% worth it, without a question. Everything else is just cheaply built in comparison

[@JohnDoe-bu3ev]

how does it stay on?!

[@callmegoats]

I bascially quit a few years ago because learnign switch demotivated me but I am not thinking about picking up Freeline Skates again

[@bonker2946]

You should try it again you dont have to ride switch there are tricks that dont you it also its good to have a challenge dont give up

[@verdiernoyama9681]

Did you pick up freeline skates again ?

[@selfactualizer2099]

riding switch = my brain turning off

[@GabeAltier]

hahaha I relate to this. It's so frustrating at first
