Connected my first switch turns at keystone yesterday - 3 hours on scout and the ranger lift plus this video and I was able to go ride switch on paymaster to end the day. Don't have a designated riding partner so gotta push myself to progress and your videos help a ton

10:14 probably my fav TB moment. You’re such a great dude, Tommie!

I had switch on the back burner for many years. I tried applying the heel and toe 'pedalling' techniques I was taught when learning regular, but they weren't doing me any good when going switch, so I didn't practice as much as I should have. Learning about knee steering was the game-changer for me. Within about a week, I went from not being able to make a switch toeside turn to cruising down blues top to bottom with no issues.

I did that last trick on accident once 😂 my dad saw it he was like "that was cool!" Lol fun times. Miss snowboarding. I got good, fast, then had to move back where it dont snow enough to enjoy my then-new favorite sport. Thanks for keepin it steezy guys, i gotta live vicariously thru you until the day my LIBTech SkunkApes and my Capita ride again. Been a long time but im still clinging to my 11 yrs old gear

Very well explained and broken down into sections that build upon each other. I'm just going to have to spend a day (or two) riding switch and commit. I think it's just a matter of spending more time switch, falling down, not getting frustrated, and just keep going. Thanks for the amazing video!

loving the videos, cant wait to try these on my new board this season! keep it up!

That was great! Been riding since 1988 but never really did switch which was. mistake because I fell a few times on an edge and got gun shy as they say. Im motivated to try again after your video.

Rewatched a lot of your vids prior to the season. I find it so helpful for me to reinforce good habits and technique that you teach. This is the first season I didn’t feel like I took the usual one step backward riding switch. Thanks tommie!!!!

Going to an indoor hall tomorrow to try some switch riding for the first time, so nice timing on this one!

I'm 61 in my 3rd season snowboarding. Life long surfer and working switch now going from toe edge to heel.

[Nemosaur]

Thanks Tommie!
This is the exact drill I was looking for
Will try it out on the slopes next weekend

Even after riding 20+ years, I've always avoided switch outside of transitions taking it back to regular asap. Great content!

Would be great to get your advice on feet position, maybe in a future video. I tried duck feet for the first time last season to help with switch, but carving felt less on rails. Rear foot feels most natural at a neutral 0, but switch riding feels precarious!

Hi! 1st of all thank you for your videos. Please talk about the angle of the bindings when we ride switch. Should we have them set at +15/-15 ? I ride goofy, my front binding is set at +15 my back one is set at -12. Whenever I attempt to go switch It doesn't feel right.

[cristinasanchez]

Hi Tommie!!Thanks for your videos... I LOVE IT!!! I would like to know about the stance and angles in your bindings to do swicht... Do you have clue plus you feel confidente with, please? Cheers man!!

[rubenvanelderen]

[meechiedoggo]

so you taught me how to snowboard on the ride up the mountain (have not seen all I’ve probably should)and first off thank you I love snowboarding, second I’m comfortable either way heel side and just feel really unnatural toe side I’m goofy and I’d rather be switch if I can be heel side. Can you or someone point me to videos to help me with this
