20 XP when a coach verifies it
What it is
There's no better way to improve your switch riding than being able to do laps in your switch stance. Make sure to regularly practice riding switch to quickly improve your board control!
How to do it
- Edge out early to the corner
- Make sure to really focus on transferring weight from heels to toes (or vice versa)
- Get low for the corner
- Keep handle in close
- Repeat for all corners!
Common problems
- If you are struggling with the switch lap, make sure to go back and practice some switch edging and think about how you can make the corners easier for yourself.
What your coach looks for
Complete a full lap of the cable riding entirely in your switch stance.
