I have actually grown to like switch a lot. 2 years ago I hated it with every fiber of my body. Now 60% of the time I am skating is switch. It really turned for me when I got a switch hardflip. My tip to every one watching is to do like 9 or 10 switch ollies in a row. That helped me tremendously. Then everytime you do a switch trick think "ollie first then flip the board." and when you start to do a trick it's going to flip really slow and sluggish, do not give up on it just yet because that is necessary. At first you have to do that in order to understand the flip. Once you do all you have to do is move your feet faster and the board will flip faster. Lastly, i find it really helps to over exaggerate on what you are doing. Because what you think you are doing is exactly what you are doing. For example, what I did with my switch kickflips, I was not flicking my foot out at the right time and I couldn't get a consistent flip. So what I did was I aimed my foot toward the top nose of my board and I bent my knee a lot. Aiming my foot helped to flick my foot out at the right time and putting a lot of emphasis on my knee helped get the flip consistent and kept it under me. Now my rant of skateboarding is over. I hope I helped some people.
Switch frontside Heel is one of those tricks that sounds like its hard to do but its actually quite easy once you get comfortable in switch. Switch Heels and frontside 180s feel really natural and easy. Also the more experience and comfortable you are riding a skateboard in general the easier it is to learn switch.
im goofy i can tell u goofy is the best lol sorry regular bro's haha still love tho i just dont like it when a ledge or some obstacle is better suited for u and not me.
If you're already a professional skateboarder like Aaron and want to experience all the fun again; landing new tricks, making progress, etc. just skate switch and learn it all "from scratch" haha
I remember going through the same struggle with snowboarding, when I got extremely comfortable with switch, it made my overall boarding a lot better. I was able to do tricks more comfortably.
The first thing to learn when skating switch is just roll around and push switch... so simple but I never even thought about it, haha! I've been skating since I was probably 10, but stopped at 18 when I injured my wrist. Now I'm 31 and getting back into it. I'm surprised I can still do a lot of the tricks I used to, but I never ever ever learned anything switch. I think I did myself a disservice there. But I'm going for it now. Thanks for the vids!
Just bought sms today. I was inspired to start skating again after about 7 years of not skating at all. Got a new complete about 2 weeks ago and have been using the Trick Tips on this channel in the order suggested in SMS. By next week I should be able to move up to Backside 180's. I've also been practicing switch right away since I got the board, Switch ollies are almost there.
I've been cruising a 22" Penny for about 20 hours now (across 11 days) and started learning to ride switch a few days ago. It's really pleasant to be able to do it until the next day when it seems like everything has to be relearned again (but in quicker time). Switch just offers such a "complete" feeling of contentedness when one isn't slipping off the back, etc. Shoulders and hips, shoulders and hips!
I remember when I was younger I tried learning to skateboard. Had ollies down okay and tried a nollie. Gave myself the ol credit card and stopped shortly after that. Seeing these Braille videos makes me wanna try for fun again even at the age of 29
about a year before i started learning any switch i wanted to get comfy skating switch so I used to cruise around my town switch then winter came and I started learning a lot switch, I got switch kickflips and varial kicks down. Working on fs flips now :)
Once I got comfortable with popping the board switch, I found it fast and easy to learn the basics 180 and shove it tricks switch. I'm working on switch heels now
I used to push mongo, mainly because i never had anyone to teach me and its just what i did, i stopped skating for years and just a few days ago i began to pick it back up from watching a lot of skating vids, and yours have got me inspired as well, im just getting down regular ollie but im trying to ride switch as well and get switch ollies down, because in my opinion might as well learn switch as im learning the basics so that way i can be more well rounded from an earlier time
Your point about pushing normal when riding switch instead of mongo was the best. The more I avoid mongo when riding switch, the more control I feel I have. It's awesome.
I've got SMS vol. 1, but I would really like to see some videos of you showing us how you glide/flow so well, wheel walk (for lack of a better term), and flip/switch the board back to nose position like you do in this video. All those little things no one really covers.
I started pushing mongo at like 8 years old and rode around on my board mongo for years before realizing it was frowned upon. Now i push mongo when i’m regular and push regular when i’m switch lol
Something that would be cool to practise switch is to practise with a begginer friend, they dont feel as intimidated and youre re-learning the basics :)
I started learning how to skate a few months ago and within 2 months I could skate switch, the reason I dedicated to learn is because I have a lot of hills around me so I wanted to be able to rest my main leg and push with my "lazy leg"
Hello, I'm from Brazil and, I have seen so much videos of ur channel... I like so much and u r so helpful.. Thanks man! Sorry for my English... Hope u read and understand something lol ... A big hug man, skate for fun
switch is just riding in the opposite stance to your usual stance. for example; a regular rider riding in switch has the foot placement of a goofy rider (right foot forward, left foot on the tail/pushing) whereas a goofy rider has regular stance foot positions in switch (left foot forward, right foot on the tail/pushing)
Question: I find kickflips a lot easier than heelflips. Why is it that in your line up, the heelflip is before the kickflip? Everyone that i know agrees that kickflips are easier.
Heel Flips are easier to learn than Kick Flips, with Heel Flips it's just an Ollie that you kick out from the side, easy to get to learn. With Kick Flips you have to kind of understand the board differently and commit differently.
I agree they are easier but I learned heelflips first but kickflips are easier. Kickflips requir a whole different level of different commitment though so thats why they are first.
King Barney totally disagree, i guess it's different for everyone, the kickflip for me feels much more like an ollie, whereas heels my legs are going in opposite directions, i learned kickflips first and they're the trick i can catch midair smoothly :D not heels ^^ like i said, guess everyone's different!
i can tell that Aaron are improving his switch by watching him pivoting around almost like walking , you know what i'm saying, i noticed it from many previous of his videos, nice Aaron ! Switcher are killer in a game of skate, by watching this video i want ride switch tomorrow even though my regular still new, i can ride switch NOT very comfort but i can roll and ride switch fast STRAIGHT almost fast as my regular BUT I PUSH MONGO, and tomorrow i want try to pushing switch regular, no mongo :D
Fun fact: if anyone didn't know the term goofy comes from surfing because it was normal to have the dominant foot in the back to turn on the wave so goofy was to have the left in the back. when skateboarding became popular they used the same term. People though liked to have the right foot in the front do kick and do tricks. They kept the term goofy though. So goofy is more common in skateboarding but less common in surfing
This is the very first thing I did when I first started skating last month. For every 1 lap I took regular I took 2 or more laps switch. I refuse to go through the hell I went through in snowboarding trying to learn switch 7 years after the fact. :)
Same here! I do tricks regular but skate goofy. It’s the most annoying thing on earth because I’m extremely comfortable riding goofy but can’t do tricks for the life of me that way
I recently sent in a skate support on switch front heels and was wondering if you received it. I really need help with them and would really like some tips!
I don't care about skating switch at all but I do want to learn to push switch. The reason why, I love doing fakie tricks like fakie bigspin, fakie 3 shuv, half cab, fakie ollie, etc, simple stuff but usually I will do a frontside 180 to put me in fakie stance, but then I can't push switch so unless I'm going down a hill or something, by the time I do the fakie trick, I don't have much speed left. So if I could learn to do a push or two while I'm facing the other direction, it would help make my fakie tricks more accessible, thus making me a more well rounded skater and improving my style. So that's my goal. Unfortunately I'm recovering from shoulder surgery, an injury caused by skateboarding. Oh well, hopefully in a few more weeks I'll be out there, ripping around and tearing laces.
When you’re riding switch it seems like you’re using the tail forward. Would it make more sense when in switch to use the tail or the nose of my board?
I want to know the easiest way to go from regular to switch & back while rolling forward - like, say you're on a long-distance push, you want to push fairly evenly between your right & left, so either you're pushing Mongo half the time, or you switch stances. How do you recommend going to switch & back again without too much faff and hazard?
I'm having serious issues trying to push while switch (I ride regular for reference) and I can't even push mongo switch. Tips for learning to push switch and get comfortable with the stance?
everywhere you cruise just go switch. when you ride fakie and need some more speed, push switch. you can't really get any reply secret tips on learning that faster, you just gotta get used to it. I always compare everything I learn switch to when I learned it in my regular stance. it's basically the same, but you could try some tricks nollie first before doing them switch, some are easier that way
So I really need to learn how to Ollie. Last time I tried I broke my arm so was wondering in I tighten my wheels. So They dont roll. Will it help practicing stationary. If you could let me know. Amd do a video to all future clutz like me. Let me know thanx
To me, if you are bad at balancing initially, try improving stability, then follow a few ollie tutorial videos so you dont break your arm again. Or you could wear pads, that too.
hey Aaron, i dont accually know if i sould ride goofy or regular. i m very confortable riding with right foot forward, but i can only ollie with my right foot poping, so... i m trying to find my stance without pushing mango with my right foot. Thanks in advance
I ride goofy but I do my tricks a lot better at switch. Is there anything I can do because I can't even Ollie riding regular but I can do all the basics at switch just not push at switch
hi ive been skating goofy because i learned that way but I'm right footed so if I learn to skate regular tricks would be a lot easier but if I learn mongo it would be faster to learn so my question is should I learn to skate regular or mongo
i can switch just nollies... i suck at heelflips but can do tripple kicks... the only trick between olly i can do is a bs pop shove it however i did not skate for 10 years and tried it today however i landed the heelflip on manual... and the varial kick ... but i suck at fs shove it
skating switch is like reincarnating with your previous life's thoughts
So for learning to skate should I learn for both legs leading?
+ZankTheGreat it wouldn't hurt i don't think
Killer Queen YES!!!!
That is so true
@@zankthegreat4291it’ll be easier to learn if you learn both as you go as opposed to getting really used to one leg and then suddenly deciding to learn switch

+sk8terbruhXD4653 kinda :P
No, I started skating switch in july and got my first sw fs heel by September
One trick doesn't mean you mastered the stance. It means you got one trick

I usually start skating switch when my left shoe has a hole in it. then i buy new shoes once my right shoe goes bad.
James Morrison That's actually a great idea! I must try it
+Pece17 I should too
+James Morrison I use a bunch of duct tape and takes awhile to rip and then u just add my layers if they rip it works really well
+James Morrison I skate switch when I get tired in my leg.
ShoutsWillEcho1 I do that alot too lol
It feels nice when you're "goofy" and you see somebody else that's "goofy". Really doesn't happen often to me.
it's pretty much half and half in the world of skateboarding
It's funny but I feel the same about being regular
Goofy seems to common in skateboarding though. I mean a lot of the big skateboarding youtubers skate goofy.
yess
im goofy i can tell u goofy is the best lol sorry regular bro's haha still love tho i just dont like it when a ledge or some obstacle is better suited for u and not me.
I really hate doing switch and nollie tricks. every time I put my foot on the front, or nose, of the board, my foot feels so weak!!
Switch is hard.
+x17Chimera Wanna know what else is hard?

+Guðmundur Bjartur @dHaro is right.. learning switch is absolutely essential to growing as a skater. Pros are so far passed that stage
You're probably not pro if you can't do switch tricks...

Is it a good idea to allready learn to Ride Switch as a beginer
Yup I just started and I already have both pretty down
i wish i did. Says the 30 year old

Eh. It's more comfortable switch but it's also poor technique. It's better to learn to push the right way switch.

Carl Brohus True true.
Aaron you should do a nollie inward heel skate support..
Hey Arron you should learn switch and nollie varial kickflips! I learned them before switch or nollie flips and still find them easier to do.
I can not pop my board with my left foot. Any help.
Just Try Popping It With Your Right Foot.
I can pop with my right good but with my left its like if I was on my first day of skating
So you're trying to learn switch.
The only tip i have for you is keep practicing just like you did to learn regular tricks.

Awesome switch tricks aaron kyro
Excellent suggestion
Yo Aaron, at which point in their evolution do you think skaters should start learning how to skate switch?
I'm getting back to skating after 8 years.
I seriously feel like Bambi oh my gawd.
Great job getting back onto a skateboard!!!
This is the very first thing I did when I first started skating last month. For every 1 lap I took regular I took 2 or more laps switch. I refuse to go through the hell I went through in snowboarding trying to learn switch 7 years after the fact. :)
I ride regular and for some reason I literally can’t Ollie on regular, so I learnt it doing a goofy stance 😭 I have no clue what I should do now 😬
Same here! I do tricks regular but skate goofy. It’s the most annoying thing on earth because I’m extremely comfortable riding goofy but can’t do tricks for the life of me that way
TheAlvinTV it sucks but now I guess we either have to learn how to ride the other way or re learn the tricks that way 😐
Aaron you're awesome!
I need a trick tip, when learning flat ground tricks would it better to learn them on a smooth slippery ground or a rougher ground?
My personal preference is smooth and slippery. There is such a thing as too slippery though
Do you even have bushings on your king pins?
Arron you should do a video where you try to do a late kick flip
switch is so hard everytime i push i loose my balance any tips on how to keep balance while pushing
Do you have to face the tail for it to be considered switch? Or just the opposite of your stance?
I recently sent in a skate support on switch front heels and was wondering if you received it. I really need help with them and would really like some tips!
You know that hes not good at heelflips staph!
I don't care about skating switch at all but I do want to learn to push switch.

I landed three switch flips without rolling yesterday because I was camping so it didn’t have any concrete so now I got to do them rolling
Aaron is such a perfectionist
I got the Comfy cat graphic from revive
Aaron when do you think someone should start learning switch?
u don't have to
I can’t get comfortable pushing switch or reg mongo. Been skating my whole life and I find it terrifying. I’m trying to force myself. Any advice?
When you’re riding switch it seems like you’re using the tail forward. Would it make more sense when in switch to use the tail or the nose of my board?
hey aaron can you do no-comply f/s 180 tutorial?
Hey Aaron. My mate got me a skid plate. I don't want to use it cause I think it will affect my pop. Will it because I'm not sure? Thanks
You should do a "improving my heelflips" vid.
Jesus I looked at the date this was uploaded.. 5 years ago..
still cant ride switch ^^
Recals same
I want to know the easiest way to go from regular to switch & back while rolling forward - like, say you're on a long-distance push, you want to push fairly evenly between your right & left, so either you're pushing Mongo half the time, or you switch stances.

How u doing trick 0:52 ?
It would be really nice if you do a "today I learned ghetto birds" ?! :) thanks

I just streamed skating yesterday this video gone help me
How do you nollie heel because every time I do it it underflips or it doesn't get that much pop.
thats my next practice session, really gotta work on my switch
2:18 Wait wasnt that a switch backside 180?
is there a name for riding the board with the tail forward?
No
Fakie
jey negzerotres no not fakie, I mean riding in your normal stance just with the tail of the board in the front, there's probably not a name huh
***** I've generally heard it called "Skating the Nose."
*****
lol no skating with the nose would be called if u used ur nose to do tricks
hold on so if your goofy then a switch ollie would be a regular ollie right not a goofy ollie like your used to?
What style Levi's are those haha
hi ive been skating goofy because i learned that way but I'm right footed so if I learn to skate regular tricks would be a lot easier but if I learn mongo it would be faster to learn so my question is should I learn to skate regular or mongo
Learn to skate regular
i can switch just nollies... i suck at heelflips but can do tripple kicks... the only trick between olly i can do is a bs pop shove it however i did not skate for 10 years and tried it today however i landed the heelflip on manual... and the varial kick ... but i suck at fs shove it
