Skate IQ tutorial where Mitchie teaches how to ride switch. Covers foot placement, board feel and body positioning, plus common habits to watch for, with drills that carry over to regular stance.
Why skaters like it
Recommended to new skaters in r/NewSkaters as a refresher on basics. The switch drills also help regular stance balance and foot control.
“This recent video from SkateIQ is actually about riding switch - but as a neat side effect, Mitchie goes over all the basics once again (including foot placement).”

This recent video [VIDEO] from SkateIQ is actually about riding switch - but as a neat side effect, Mitchie goes over all the basics once again (including foot placement). Just apply to your regular stance and you should be golden!
