It depends on what you are having a problem with. More than likely it is mental more than anything else. Everything is backwards, hence the reason it is harder.Do not think front/back or left/right but rather focus on heal/toe. Also, people have a tendancy to lean the wrong way (lean backwards) when they are riding switch. Remember to keep your weight balanced and towards the rear (carving setup) and ride a green slope all the way down fakie a few times. This will train your brain where your body should be positioned.When you feel comfortable then you will want to work on switching to fakie, again on a gentle slope. You should notice you will not have to think about frontside/backside… you will do it instinctively. The most difficult think about riding switch (fakie is not normally used in snowboarding) is looking over your shoulder and therefore not as easy to see. Aga

Again this is but a little annoyance and is easily overcome.Zelo
