It's amazing that someone can be that damn good & can't ride switch! I know he did some 180's & a 540 but he didn't waste much time going back to regular. Excellent riding though.

He definately has style. Love the big spins, and the whirly looked smooth.

He was throwing switch 180's, Greg.

I love videos where it a solid set, not just edited to show the peak of the tricks.

Damn solid riding, and a great vid

Great video. What I wouldn't give for water like that.

If you have a solid toeside jump and can land anything switch, who cares whether or not you can do anything more than a half cab 180? Just like Sean O'Brien, it was probably a conscious decision for this guy not to work a lot on switch tricks. Why do things with less amplitude and style just so you can say you can do a (fill in the blank) switch? Unless you're planning to seriously compete in tournaments--which I assume is why SOB has been doing more switch tricks lately--or you're looking for a sponsor, anything beyond a grabbed half cab 180 and maybe a switch BS 180 is pointless to me. Toeside tricks look better anyway. Let the flaming of me begin.

I agree with Jeff. I would rather learn an additional spin or invert then learn a switch trick that I can already do. It is obvioulsy important to be decently comfortable switch, but it isn't necessary IMO to be able to do switch tantrums or crows. Flame on.

Nice riding. I liked the slow build up to 5's and stuff....I almost crapped myself though near the end when he skipped off the top of the wake on his toeside backroll. He threw it way early and had some crazy momentum and I thought he was gonna snag the top of the wake and wreck (A friend of mine did that once).
