01Understanding the Switch Stance

  • Before attempting a switch 3600, it's important to understand the switch stance. Switch stance refers to riding with your opposite foot forward. If you're regular (left foot forward), your switch stance will be with your right foot forward, and vice versa for goofy riders (right foot forward). Practice riding switch to get comfortable with the stance.
  • To ride switch, shift your weight to your new leading foot and keep your body centered over the board. It may feel awkward at first, but with practice, you will gain better control and balance while riding switch.

02Mastering the Basic Switch Tricks

  • Before attempting a switch 3600, make sure you have mastered the basic switch tricks such as switch riding, switch turns, and switch ollies. These fundamental tricks will help you build a solid foundation and improve your overall switch riding
  • Practice switch riding on different terrain, including groomed runs, bumps, and jumps. This will help you develop your switch control and stability. Start with small jumps and gradually work your way up to bigger jumps as you become more comfortable.

03Preparing for the Switch 3600

  • To prepare for the switch 3600, find a suitable jump or feature with a wide and smooth takeoff. Make sure the landing is clear and has enough space for a safe landing.
  • Approach the jump in a relaxed and controlled manner. Bend your knees and keep your body centered. Visualize the switch 3600 in your mind and mentally prepare for the trick.
  • As you approach the takeoff, pop off the lip of the jump with your legs while initiating the rotation with your upper body. Keep your head and shoulders facing in the direction of the spin.

04Executing the Switch 3600

  • As you leave the takeoff, start the rotation by twisting your upper body in the direction of the spin. Keep your eyes focused on the landing spot.
  • Tuck your knees up toward your chest to decrease your rotational speed and increase control. This will also help you spot the landing and prepare for the landing position.
  • Extend your legs and prepare to absorb the impact as you spot the landing. Aim to land with your knees slightly bent and with your weight centered over the board.
  • As you land, ride away smoothly and maintain your balance. Practice landing switch after the trick to improve your switch riding skills.
