01Understanding the Switch Stance

  • Before attempting the switch 360, it is important to have a good understanding of the switch stance. Switch stance means riding with your non-dominant foot forward. If you are a regular rider (left foot forward), switch stance would be riding with your right foot forward.
  • Practice riding in switch stance to get comfortable with the feeling. Focus on keeping your balance and maintaining control while riding switch.
  • Make sure your bindings are properly adjusted for a switch stance. Your front foot should be securely strapped in, while your back foot should have a looser binding to allow for easy movement.
  • Once you feel confident riding in switch stance, you can proceed to the next step.

02Mastering the Basic Switch Turns

  • Before attempting the switch 360, it is crucial to have a solid foundation in performing basic switch turns. Practice carving and making smooth turns in switch stance.
  • Start by making wide and gradual turns, gradually increasing your speed and tightening your turns.
  • Focus on shifting your weight and using your edges to control your turns. Keep your body centered and maintain a good balance.
  • Once you feel comfortable and confident in executing switch turns, you are ready to progress to the next step.

03Learning the Switch 360 Technique

  • The switch 360 is a rotational trick that involves spinning 360 degrees while riding in switch stance. Here is the step-by-step technique to perform a switch 360:
  • Approach the jump or feature with good speed and a balanced stance.
  • As you approach the takeoff, initiate the spin by winding up your upper body in the opposite direction of the spin. This winding motion will generate momentum for the rotation.
  • Extend your legs and pop off the takeoff, pushing off with your feet to initiate the spin.
  • Tuck your knees up towards your chest to increase rotation speed and control.
  • Spot your landing by looking over your leading shoulder during the spin.
  • As you complete the spin, prepare to land by extending your legs and getting ready to absorb the impact.
  • Aim to land with a balanced position, knees bent, and weight centered over your board.
  • Ride away smoothly and maintain control.
  • Remember to practice the switch 360 on small jumps or features before attempting larger or more advanced tricks. Progress gradually and always prioritize safety.
  • With practice and perseverance, you will be able to master the switch 360 and add it to your repertoire of snowboarding tricks.
