I went switch fer a year. I passed Level I AASI switch. I brush my teeth left-handed now. I play drums both ways completely. It's not magic, you have to devote yourself to giving your switch-riding every opportunity your native side has enjoyed. After a while I got occasionally mixed up as to which was native & which switch. I got better carving on my switch side & front 1's were of course easier switch. Most importantly, I found that each brain hemisphere had it's own style... so it wasn't just matching switch to regular, it was giving regular a new companion & switch the freedom to express itself. For instance I ride more surfy regular, but I can handle crazier carves goofy. I layback & tripod better switch too.
Best reflection on riding switch I’ve ever read, nice
@@16MrMattie thx🥹
Goofy footers unite!
bhahahaha
Weird Lol
I’m witcha
yeeeew!
My best friend ever was goofy. I became a spy for goofy for so long I couldn't tell what my allegiance was. Now I got two horses and they each got their own direction.
Broo hitting jumps switch then landing switch is dam scary!! Haha
dude strait up!
I agree
is it just me or does this vid make my goofy bothers and sisters happy
It's like you made this video just for me. I've been working on it all pre season but it's hard breaking my old habits! You already know I want some cvlogs wax!! I enjoy waxing my board even though you guys don't seem to do it. There's some flat areas up here in WP and you just gotta send it to get through helps a ton to have a fresh wax.
hhaahha yes dude deff waxing is crucial!
A huge tip I did was adjusting the stance on my board. Had my bindings even, and just moved my back one a notch out - helps to open up the shoulders and hips riding switch.
Shoulda mentioned that!!
Wil Alexander did you move your back one when you are riding normal or did you move your back one when you were riding switch ?
@@tannerholt2908 I just leave it that way all the time. Your body will adjust really quickly to riding normally with it angled out. It kind of evens out your shoulders (more closed regular and more open switch)
This guy is SPOT ON. Yes, the body shapes itself through muscle memory to regular. Switch will help you come out of messes you never saw coming. I learned in 1996 and rode regular trying to keep up with friends who could only ride regular down steeps. My back went out finally. The only way I can give it a break now IS TO RIDE SWITCH. Learn switch before your back tells you to learn it or you end up with a broken bone because you couldn't make it out of a mess. This dude is a brilliant. Thanks
You know it too well brother. Glad you shared that 🙌
Excellent video! what you're saying is so true, if you want to learn something you just got to commit! I will have to pick a day and ride the whole day switch l, from the time I am strapped in until I leave the mountain! Thanks for this extra push in improving everyone's riding!
Yes man no worries!!
I agree
That's it. I'm buying snowboarding shit and a season pass. I don't give a shit how much money it is. That, that there... is what happiness is.💕
Facts!! Where do you live!?!?!
@@CaseyWillax I live in Idaho, about an hour and a half from Grand Targhee. I'm a web developer currently; however, I'm going through some self-awareness and came to a conclusion that I need more hobbies. I love film making and editing as well ever since I was a kid, and I've only been snowboarding about a few times in my life. I've skateboarded since I was a kid and honestly, it's so transferable to snowboarding. So, I'm about to make two new hobbies (stable hobbies) and I'm beyond excited! I really appreciate and love your videos; so glad I happen to come across them.
*Sorry for the little life story; thought it was needed.* 😂💕
*Much love, happy riding!* 🏂
yes. your ON IT!
Kasador do it! 👍
@@Kasador This is so similar to my sitch. Also a web-developer, became self-aware and needed a new hobby, got into snowboarding just over a month ago. Skated as a kid as well.
Your better switch then me normal 😂😂😂
lolll
when your switch riding is better than my normal riding..
hahaha
im sorry what?
Absolutely. It's ridiculous. Sigh....
Which is years of practice and makes this video a really bad one in terms of teaching someone anything.
It's crazy how suddenly it starts to just click in your mind. I spent the first half of this season focusing on just refining my regular stance since this is my first season boarding after a 5 year hiatus from it. I didn't forget how to board by any means, but still that's a long time. I've been throwing in some switch riding when I come to mellow, flatish, uncrowded spots (hard to find at Park City though). I'd go for a bit, but would catch an edge HARD at least a couple times a day so after a few biffs I'd just say screw practicing it for the day and continue in regular. A couple weeks ago on a powder day, it randomly clicked in my head when I switched around to goofy on a run and somehow I was no longer eating snow after every 50 feet. I swear the day before I couldn't ride switch, but all of a sudden that day I was linking carves, gaining lots of speed, and now able to ride switch on entire runs. It was way weird how I suddenly had it figured out!
dude how you ride makes every trick just look effortless. been having a break since 3 years now, but I`m more than looking forward to get back at it, especially continue to riding switch....you the man!
YLTHI! Your out there!
Amazing video Casey and the cvlogs crew! Watching you up on the mountain every day gives me great motivation to get out there myself. East coast is just starting up. I'm horrible at switch lol Cheers for the tips and positive vibes!
Yes stoked to hear that!
Yeeeewwww!!! The best Christmas present on RUclips!!! Stoken Claus!!!! And the gift wrapping shredder!!! Daly had bustin up when he came out of the GnarV!!! 😂 this drop has put soo much holiday spirit in me it’s peakin!!! Happy Holidays GnarV fam!!! ❤yeeeww!!!🤙🏽
Overstoked!!!!
My key to learning switch was strict desire and discipline to put in time on switch when I still was a beginner and I didn’t really know how to snowboard. About 80/20 split on mediocre normal riding to dicey switch. When that nervous system is primed and absorbing new movements as a beginner, take advantage of that plastic moment where the brain will pattern in switch more readily. So much easier than when a preference has been ingrained to fight against.
wow thats true huh
It really helped me to angle my back binding a bit more than my front one. I believe my front is 15° and my back is 20°. This helped me with switch riding (especially on those toeside turns because your body doesn't want to change stance so much). I was literally able to carve immediately :D (obviously I tried switch riding before but I wasn't good at all). I hope this also helps someone else :D
that is sooo true!!!!!
7:18 greenbro called you a ballerina! While your laid up I’m watching one of the dopest samurai switch sessions I’ve ever seen. Animalistic!
bhahahahahahhaa
Literally started learning switch today and looked up a video on how to better myself and I couldn’t happier that you uploaded this today, keep up the hard work✊🏻
Yes dude!!!!
Casey Willax Upload a video on butters? That’s my next goal after switch, just an idea but I’d rather learn from you than anyone else
I find I keep running into your videos and watching them all the way through. You definitely earned my sub. Great video!
Thank you Kinh!! 🙌🙌
Yes dude! This is the video we all needed! Love watching a fresh #cvlog on my way up to the mountain. Yewwwwww!
Yeeeeee!
Riding switch was always been something I wanted to work on. So I went the whole day switch and I was getting it until last day of the run where I caught an edge and now my I have 3 collarbones FML.
Nooo you’ll be back brother!
I chose switch for a year & passed AASI levels the same. I mean from the second I plop my board to the quiet tired drive home. If I landed reg had to switch back. I occasionaly rode reg because my neck was cramping, but that's it. And I literally got better carving & buttering goofy. The trippy thing wasn't just that I felt slightly more comfy. Instead of getting as good as my reg, my switch kind of had its own style. Any good drummer that plays something different w/ each limb & both brain hemispheres, knows the weird states of mind you experience b/c of it. I play left hand dominant as much or more than I play right. I also mess around with both hands sort of dominating at the same time. It's like trying to dance where both people dominate. You have to take turns, or you WILL crash, but you can get really good at having a back & forth conversation with your spheres & you'll get faster at it.
This is legendary. Nothing but truth here
Casey Willax "true story"
Dan is the ultimate camera hype man,hahaha i love it
Dan*** LEGEND!!
More than just a camera man aye, Mike you're a born MC!! 💪🏼💪🏼
I worked a lot on riding switch today. I’m a snowboard noob but it’s starting to feel a lot more natural. Makes my regular riding so much better too. Keep bringing the 🔥edits. FTD.
Yes hyped to hear that
On the training for snowboard teachers (J+S, Switzerland) they reversed all our bindings over night. First everyone was really pissed off, but it was definitely best way to teach pros how their scholars feel.
bhahahahahahahahha
This is my first video of yours that I'm seeing, but you spend all of 30 seconds of an 18 minute video giving tips. You're obviously an insanely good rider, and I HAVE to believe there's more advice to give on riding switch.
The advice is this. RIDE SWITCH MORE. Sorry that everyone wants quick tips to achieve results that are ONLY achievable through hard work and proper repetition. How do you get good at regular? By riding regular a lot, it’s no different for the opposite stance. 🤙
@@CaseyWillax totally agree. I can't stand the quick fix mentality. However, good riders seem to "get it" faster than someone like myself. Thanks for the genuine reply!
I've been practicing switch this off season. Getting pretty used to it now. This tuttie helps bro!
heck yeah man!
Regular for the win! 🤙
Definetly feel like there are more goofy footed people out there than regular people lol
Hahaha
I'm so pumped for tonight my local Hill opens last night I spent eight hours pushing out all the pipes.yewwww can't wait to get off work lol
Joe Wilkin you savageeeee!!!!!! Best of shredding my bro 💪🏼💪🏼
your a savage!!
@@CaseyWillax such a sick sesh I'm beat and about to roll out and streach.i think I did like 200 laps on the rope tow haha
Meant to say pushing out all the piles lol
@@newwinter1844 congrats on winning the contest bro let me no how thos soles are
Dude, your better switch then i am regular! Awesome vid.🤘
hahaha
This was helpful. I'm going to start to ride switch. Then work my way up to jumps and rails
Yes bro!
You ride switch better than most people ride regular! I would love some Cvlogs wax!!
Thanks G!!!
3:24 what a beautiful fs 360 noseroll :)))
Yewww!! Thank you!!
When your goofy is better than my regular haha
Boxes... OPEN THEM... I'm on the edge of my seat, I love boxes.
Hhahahaha
You got Instagram my bro?? Wink wink
Sick, Perfect start to my day. My hill opens this morning too! PUMPED
Get it!!!!!
yeww stoking!
one tip: point the direction you're going with your front hand that helps keeping your upper body facing the mountain!
FACTS!
that's it aye!! bring it back to the basics 💪🏼💪🏼
There’s a bunch of hot ole miss girls in breck this week. Shoutout ole miss girls
hahaha
Dude you have so much energy on the slopes! Keep it up!
CDub, coming through with another banger! Good advice homie, next day on the hill is all switch, yeeeard? 🤙🏼 yewww
Yes bro!!!
The wax idea is sick!
yeww!!
This is next level advice. I remember my first attempts to ride switch for even a whole run and it felt like learning to ride all over again! When you are strapping in switch for the day are you actually switching your bindings around or just strapping in with back foot binding? Maybe it doesn't matter with a true twin and the same angles? I know a couple of my decks are a little stiffer in the true tail of the board than in the switch tail.
My stance is true twin so it doesn't matter for me!
Riding the lift switch was key for me. With some added leg lifts on the way up, it ain't nothing now - Don't matter which way the board is set up, especially on a true twin.
You love to hear that Danial!!
Hey Casey will there be any sticker giveaways bc I’ve been dying for some of your stickers to rep on the slopes on my board and helmet and if not all good we’re do I go to by some good vid bro keep shredding🤙🏼
caseywillax.bigcartel.com
Yeww for sure!!!
That would be steezy if u could give out some stickers to ppl I’d like ur stickers more than anything and plus I got a new board and bindings need to spice the ride up a bit
One step closer to 20k.
YEWW!!
Sick new intro
TY!!!
Going to Trollhaugen tonight gonna practice switch all night thanks for the vid Case
your on it!!
If you want to ride switch on a snowboard. Practice all summer skateboarding switch. Shortboard or longboard push turn and olly switch when winter comes and you strap on it'll feel like nothing
YUP!
Did some switch yesterday finally after four years of boarding! Thanks for these tips!
Yewwww
Great Vid! Trying riding switch intensively since last season and you are absolutely right:

Before watching the video here is my answer to the title: ride switch more.
FACTS!
I just need to improve my edge control on switch
LOVED SEEING THIS CUZ I RIDE GOOFY. STOKED!
Yewww!! Stoke!!
I always found spinning switch was easier than spinning regular
always try to ride switch on any riding day, just need to do it more often. its a game changer for sure!!
Facts!
This is gonna be so helpful
Yeww!!
Hopefully one day I can I ride regular like Casey can ride switch. Maybe if I get a bunch of lessons and move to a ski town and ride 100 days a season. 😅
You got it
Cant wait to try the shredsoles out!!!! the excitement is real on this one boys!!!!
yesss!!
What editing software are you using?

No Bulletproof in today's video!?!? haha will be on the look out for the C vlog wax!!
It's always somewhere lollll!!
Super helpful video 👌
TY!!!
Sport is happiness.
Yewww
What's the scoop on stance when you intend to ride switch regularly? I've been doing like a 15/-6 all my life and I'm wondering if I need to make that more symmetrical? Thanks to anyone who can clear this up
12 12 son!!!
@@CaseyWillax Do you feel comfortable at high speed positioned like that?
Casey Willax just did that today
Hey man. I know this is an old post, but how tall are you and what size board do you ride? Video was bad ass by the way. I’m 6’2” and just bought a 160 and I felt it was way too long. My old board is 146, it I feel that’s a tad short.
6ft. 155 park board.
Hey man! Sweet vid. Quick question.. what size board and how tall are you? I bought a board last season but I want to get more into park, and I would like a smaller board.
DREAMIN!!!
@@CaseyWillax lmao
Nothing takes the fun out of a day like getting your pass info taken by a yellow 🔫
Bhahahahahhaha
I dont understand, why did that happen? Because he went off a jump with a camera in his hand?
I have 10k hours switch on a skateboard, think it’ll transfer over?
Yes!
Absolutly!
What happened at 4:47? Did you get a ticket or something? For what?
Hahhaha
c vlogs honey wax...eeelllls yeah
Yess!!
going to give switch more mileage!!
Your on it!
wow you make it look easy!!
YEWWW
The trick for me was to have no idea what I was doing first time I rode and I spent the first 2 days completely switch in goofy foot as I'm naturally regular 🤣 accidental learning curve🤷♂️
Hahahhahaha classic
Even your switch game is savage... que??? Cajas por el sueño !
Hahhahaha yeww!!!
C isk new logo. C witch game is insane! What C ize is that Relapse?
Bhahahahahhah 155w G!
How do u have the willpower to not rip open that box that obviously has a new board to shred?!? I would have opened that sucker right away😂👍🏂
Hhahahah FTD!
