"O'kay so the trick that I am going to be walking through now is the basic switch trick. What you are going to want to do is approach the jump going backwards and you are going to do a switch 180 and you are going to go from taking off backwards and you are going to land forward again with your legs scissored and looking over your shoulder it is automatically going to set your spin and you are not going to have to throw your arms or throw your head or anything. The way your body is positioned will automatically set the spin for you. What you want to do after your get the drop switch down you want to hop switch and make some turns going down to it and then just pop. Then with that you are just going to want to ride away as if you were landing any other trick forward and just cruise away and that is how you do a switch 180."
