Learning to ride switch not only doubles your ability to do tricks, but it will also improve your regular riding. Riding switch makes you think about your snowboarding more, as initially it often feels unnatural, and you have to think through every turn. As such, learning a trick, a turn or a grab while riding switch often takes a lot more thought and analysis.

Start by working on the tricks and turns that you can already do. Concentrate on the turns you have down natural, and then hammer them switch until you can get to the point where hopefully you don’t have a preference. Then move on. The ultimate switch goal? Riding powder.
