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.

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.

You're probably not pro if you can't do switch tricks...

Skating switch is one of those things I like getting people in games of skate :)

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!

I just thought of this subject and of course Braille's got my back!! Thank YOU!!

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!

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.

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 :)

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 started skating by pushing mongo. I do not anymore but that made it easy to ride switch

6 years later your front shuv looks dope. also i skate regular switch hurts the right side of my brain

is it good if I have done a switch flip and I first got on a skateboard about a year ago?

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

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

Clean switch flips

thats my next practice session, really gotta work on my switch

Aaron you're awesome!

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. :)

Aaron you should do a nollie inward heel skate support..

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

Awesome switch tricks aaron kyro

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

Do you have to face the tail for it to be considered switch? Or just the opposite of your stance?

Excellent suggestion

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?

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?

Yo Aaron, at which point in their evolution do you think skaters should start learning how to skate switch?

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!

hey aaron can you do no-comply f/s 180 tutorial?

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.

You should do a "improving my heelflips" vid.

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?

Do you even have bushings on your king pins?

So when learning a kickflip would it be best to learn switch?

yo aaron, when are the woodward videos coming out?

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.

My next goal as I sprained my ankle and apparently this helps also I'm goofy!

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 😬

I've been skating since July also but I'm past the learning how to cruise phase.I'm now learning how to cruise switch lml.I had the same problem as you, honestly its all personal preference.How I positioned my feet to cruise was back foot horizontal covering all 4 bolts and and front foot horizontal covering all 4 bolts and vertical covering all 4 bolts when pushing.Doing this is just for the sake of learning as you get more comfortable you will constantly alter your foot positioning and eventually have your own default riding stance.I did that and now my foot positioning is back foot horizontal covering all 4 bolts and front foot vertical covering only the 1st 2 bolts when pushing and diagonal covering the 1st 2 bolts when I'm not pushing.To go farther when your pushing you need to have more powerful pushes.To do this you may need to place your back foot a lil in front of your front foot when pushing like walking and doing it faster with more power.If you don't got the balance to give off powerful pushes you will fall and relapse back into smaller pushes so make sure your able to balance enough before giving off bigger faster pushes to roll faster and longer.Your bearing might suck, need to be cleaned or both which is why you may not be rolling for long if your doing all of that but hopefully that's not the case.I know your comments over 3 weeks old so you may not be having these issues but if you still are hopefully this helps.

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

It would be really nice if you do a "today I learned ghetto birds" ?! :) thanks

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

You should do improving switch intermedient tricks

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.

His switch ollie is more consistent and better than my regular Ollie !

hold on so if your goofy then a switch ollie would be a regular ollie right not a goofy ollie like your used to?

You switch is better than my regular skating
