Common problems

• I'm finding it difficult to land switch. Make sure to spend some time practicing switch riding and ollie 180's to really dial in your switch riding. Also make sure to land with equal weight and keep your shoulders over your toes.
• I slip over my heels when I try the toeside frontside 180. Remember stay low and don't over correct with your chest before hitting the kicker. Keep your weight directly on top of the board for a nice controlled pop.
