That is awesome that you have mastered that. The advice that frosty has is great advice and will help you RIDE switch more successfully. Because it is more difficult to land switch, you may want to try Switch 180°s. Where you will ride switch and then 180 into your normal stance. You should feel much more comfortable when landing (not feeling like you are backwards) and hopefully allow you to ride away more times than wiping out.This will also give you another arsenal in your bag… a 180° and a switch 180°!Another thing that I do is do in regular stance… so a 180° and then switch stances after you land. It looks pretty cool and it's a trick to help when you are over-rotating your 180°s.Once you have gotten the frontside 180° down then you can work on your backside… slight pressure on your toeside going into the jump, when in the air move your hips

The is a BLIND landing so it is all feel. A front-side grab will help to stabilize you AND add style points.Good luck to you out there!
