ONE Thing To Learn How to Ride Switch On A Snowboard

[@mauric6943]

Everything he said is spot on. I'd only add that if you're ever out with a friend , spouse, or kids(my situation) that aren't as good as you is the PERFECT time to practice switch

[@ShredSchool1]

Great advice!

[@ap6232]

I've been doing this. My daughters are learning to snowboard this winter after several years of skiing. They've taken some lessons, but afterward, I've been riding with them and going switch so we can fall and (re)learn together. Kinda sore, but kinda fun, too. Payoff at the end is what I'm looking forward to.

[@BlackMarketHoney]

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.

Great point! Learning how to ride switch improves all aspects of your riding

Do u ride duck stand? What's your the angle on your bindings?

[@ronindroid]

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.

[@yo_its_devo]

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

ultimate tip: "make 1 day a week your switch day" ... lol. I'm still trying to make more than1 day a month a snowboard day. For real though- these videos are great. Super fun for a longtime rider trying to level up

[@JaydenVids]

if you are having any trouble with switch riding, one tip: Lean towards your front foot like you do it when you are riding normaly. If you cant do that just reach forwards with your hands, it helped me out.

[@ShredSchool1]

great tip!

[@rushthezeppelin]

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.

[@JaydenVids]

@@rushthezeppelin you got this!

[@jordongates3531]

This is such great advice, and I don't have to worry about catching up with my friends since all of them are slower than me so riding switch the whole time with them is a great idea.

[@darko714]

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]

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

[@radosbarner1734]

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.

[@axelgranzini6797]

I used to skateboard mongo and forced myself to learn the right way and the same thing happened to me my first time snowboarding last week

[@hi_9072]

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.

[@coolbrotherf127]

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.

[@lukejuras8024]

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.

[@TheFreddy3344]

did a switch day and it's surprising how fast you pick it up. lots of fun and gets you real confident!

[@ChengHorn9]

This year is my first season since 2017 and I desperately want to learn to ride switch, but I'm recovering from a shoulder injury and don't want to injure it more by falling. I'm looking forward to recovering, working out again, and getting back to being a beast.

[@johnvu6560]

I'm in the beginning stages of riding switch comfortably and what is said in the video is spot on, you will get bruised knees, you will feel like you're starting all over again except you already know how to ride regularly, I feel it is essential to learn switch to be the well rounded rider we all progress to be.

[@sam_s_]

I have been wanting to learn switch for a couple of years. I only fully committed once and it we t great for about 20 seconds. Then I ate it hard and haven't tried again.

Switching from skis to snowboard this year and gotta say you make it look so effortlessly cool. I got hooked on sideways travel with a onewheel this summer and am looking forward to what translates and what feels completely foreign.

[@ronindroid]

The summary gave me a good chuckle. I usually ride switch on groomers for practice and started getting into switch tricks. Honestly, I haven't thought of riding switch for a full day, let alone week or a season, maybe I'll try that for the rest of the season!

[@rasheerussell1353]

We have two of these. My 8 year old and 5 year old love them. They both have learned to snowboard on these. They caught on quickly. These are great and think they are perfect for all kids under 10 to learn on. They actually are pretty durable as I used them to go down the hill a few times and it handled my 200 pound frame well. I think these are great and I give them my stamp of approval!

[@johnnyuutah]

I started doing switch days this season and now I'm a lot more comfortable. My wife's friend who works at the resort likes to ride every Tuesday after she gets off work. She's not very fast so it's a great opportunity for me to ride switch rather than constantly waiting and getting bored.

[@stonearchitect116]

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.

[@orlandoarellano7390]

Riding switch on skateboard is also necessary but the difference is you can bail 😂

I just started not too long ago (less than a full season), I feel comfortable riding/carving regular and started practicing switch, not full time but like half of time lol. It helps so much that all the stuff I just learned is still fresh in my mind, mistakes and all. It also helps that I ride solo so I'm able to really focus on what I'm doing at my own pace. I really want to start doing some 180s >:) Great tips

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

0:52 - where is this run?! It looks amazing! Related to the video, in watching my son (8) learn he doesn't seem to favour one direction or the other and tends to just ride with the flow of wherever he's going. 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 🤣

[@oj8831]

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

[@ph1am]

Good to see I'm not the only person out here who skates one way and carves the other. It gets confusing riding park though- a boardslide feels more like a switch boardslide some days.

[@tharealmb]

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.

[@elquixotedelascanarias]

On thing that helped me quite a lot is riding my longboard switch in the offseason. Big difference snowboard.

[@timmkkt]

I agree with beginners learning to ride both directions from the start. When I started, I couldn't figure out if I was goofy or regular for the life of me. Both felt right. This helped me a ton later on.

[@ketchupguns]

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:)

[@Delaneylawren]

I learn how to ride switch while I was learning how to ride the regular way so I picked up on both pretty quick and now I’m equally skilled in both

ive always rode regular. but ive snowboarded for almost 20 years now, i attended high cascades snowboard camp half my lifetime ago and got to ride with all my pro idols. that was a major confidence booster and as a result i started to ride at a pretty expert level.. eventually riding regular became boring so id ride everything switch and quickly came to realize im more comfortable riding goofy. if only i could pop ollies off my left foot the way i can with my right..

[@notgnar8506]

The way I learned was by starting every run switch. Makes you feel like a superhero when you revert back to regular. Slowly but surely you get a little further down the mountain before you revert.

[@homealone5087]

If you're having trouble getting the hang of turning switch, try it on something steeper. A steep smooth groomer without moguls. The gravity forces your turns around and makes it more effortless until you get a feel for it. This is just for starting out though. Once you get the hang of it seek out terrain that gives you more problems.

[@ShredSchool1]

I think that negative angle on back binding makes a huge difference in how easy / hard it is to ride switch. When I switched from +6 or so to -9, riding switch became really easy really fast.

What up Ed. Hopefully you see this and can help me as to what I might be doing wrong. I find doing butters and small jumps much easier switch than regular. When I try to do anything in my regular stance it just feels awkward, and frankly I can't get the hang of it most of the time.

Ive been snowboarding for many years now (only once or twice a season, since mountains are far away). but i finally wanna learn to ride switch. i always chickened out, cause it felt so bad going back to the basics and having that fear of not being able to make a turn. i feel like my inner barrier to learn it just got bigger over the years. i might start practising on my onewheel, before this seasons vacation. so i can get more of a feeling for it and it stops feeling like riding backwards. then i can focus more on the edge control itself on the snowboard. any other tips to practise switch ahead of the actual snowboarding, to make the most out of a vacation?

[@K4113B4113]

I rode a snowboard for the first time last winter and I just assumed you were supposed to switch so I rode it both ways about equal amounts of time even though the bindings were both pointed towards the front of the board so riding it switch was really riding it half backwards. I didn't know you could change the angles :D Should I learn from the beginning with both angles pointing outwards? Like +15 and -15

[@tau_tv]

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?

[@christophermcculloch2725]

[@sofitocyn100]

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!

[@balgehakt1715]

Does stance matter for riding switch?

[@PaleCentaur]

As someone who has started working on riding switch more recently, there's one point from this that I want to expand/piggyback on: Treat riding switch as its own thing. When you're used to riding regular, riding switch feels incredibly unnatural because your leading foot is now trailing. You get the impulse to use what is now your trailing foot to initiate turns. (i.e. if you ride regular/left foot forward, your left foot is now back, but your body still wants to turn with your left foot) Your weight is adjusted accordingly--instead of ~60% of your weight being on your lead foot, you're tempted to put 60% of your weight on your new back foot. You need to consciously get yourself to lead with your non-dominant foot. Breaking that habit is the biggest roadblock to feeling comfortable riding switch, and once you break that block down, it's SO much easier to develop your switch riding. Everything Ed said is 100% correct, and I'm not trying to imply he missed anything, I just wanted to share my own experience that could help you with your riding too!

[@zelina6595]

When initially learning to snowboard, I learned to ride switch. It took me many years to realise that most people don't start out riding switch and learn to ride directional to start

[@rushthezeppelin]

Really wish I had done that. I'm on season three now and trying to focus on it and man it sucks having to go thorough all that pain all over again.

[@BamSandle]

Hey Ed! I know you said that you can easily ride a directional board switch, but does that make it way more difficult? Or does it not really effect it as much as people think? Really like this board that’s slightly directional, but I’m worried I’ll be missing out on the versatility that a twin board has to offer.

[@ShredSchool1]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Check out Rene Rinnekangas, one of the best to ever do it and he rides a super directional stance and a directional board I used to be the same as you, and worry about it, but after riding directional I realized I didn't mind if the board felt a little different when riding switch and it made riding regular more fun

[@nickwoodward819]

I mean, my superpig is *really* directional XD Been thinking about switching the bindings round for a day - think it's a good idea, or just stick to riding switch with my goofy setup?

[@ShredSchool1]

I would just stick with your Current setup as you want to learn to ride switch with your natural setup, not only when you switch your bindings around.

[@jacobholm47]

The super pig looks way more directional then it actually rides. It has twin side cut and I think a centered stance. Its tail is shorter past the contact points and the nose longer past the contact points, giving a twin like ride on piste and a more directional feel in pow

[@nickwoodward819]

​@@jacobholm47 You sure you aren't confusing it with another board? Good 4/5 inches longer on the nose on mine, rides fine switch, but not sure I'd call it twin like tbh

[@nickwoodward819]

@@ShredSchool1 Yeah that's probably the best bet, just thought there might be an advantage to that longer nose when I'm slightly shitter. I'm not actually that bad, but the risk of catching that tail shovel shape because of poor technique is real.

[@jacobholm47]

I am going to assume you switch your bindings because it doesnt make sense to ride around backwards on a directional twin, but thats how you would do it on a "regualr" day when you ride switch, so Idk. hope that made sense lol i love your vids

[@ShredSchool1]

Thanks Brett. Nope, just keep the bindings the same. You want to practice the same way you perform, so if on a normal day you land switch, you will be riding your board backwards, that's the way you want to practice

@@ShredSchool1 nice. i dont want to do the duck stance cuz i got long legs and my knees would not be able to go all day. thanks again

Mostly a blue rider with some black experience, I love riding switch.

[@jeffpho7842]

Need to do this!

[@HeinekenLasse]

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

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

[@32srt32]

Love riding switch!

Ride switch is like learning writing with right, and then learn with left. If you have a lot of time for snowboarding you can learn easy, is only about practise. The problem is for people that go like a couple of weeks x year.. The first guy that ever surf Mavericks (or maybe one of the first) change his stance to ride the waves frontside, as he was goofy, and most of waves are left waves. So is possible.. is only boring xD but there will be always a direction where you feel better and more natural.

I learned switch when I could not turn on my edges when I first started so I just used switch to turn

Your channel is so underrated

[@ShredSchool1]

Thank you 🙏 Our time will come

[@ryanward5770]

I'm learning switch now for more versatility but wow is it painful. I normally do mostly double black runs so having to do really easy terrain makes it that much harder to convince myself to learn switch. Until I get to the point I'm doing at least black runs it's gonna suck

[@ShredSchool1]

You might find easier runs are more fun if you challenge yourself, and not need to ride double blacks all the time

[@sannomi]

i skateboard goofy and snowboard reg and set up the snowboard goofy so that its easier to ride switch
