The old Heath. He has said in interviews that switch skating sucks to watch. But then he goes switchflip boardsliding giant handrails which is pretty entertaining to me.

switch skating is skaters skating. half of watching videos for me is trying to keep track of switch.

koston... almost all of his best stuff was switch, except for his backside noseblunt work in the latter part of the 90s.

richie jackson doesnt really skate switch but he did a switch 3 flip so he must be decent at it. acutally gonz doesnt really skate switch that much either on real to reel now that i think about it... and he was like one of the pioneers of switch in some ways! but same with him he did sw 3 flip on krooked kronicles and he must have been llike 38 years old at least which is ridiculous

dill has had alooooot of switch both in his old and newer parts. His ender in mindfield was off a switch front 180. A ton of his old photos and ads were off huge switch tricks down shit too.

i find it a bit weird you don't see nick skate much switch since he has so much good shit in regular, like flipwise (hardflips, late shuv variations). and i guess that's just fine.

haha a switch 180 isnt what i call difficult switch. i mean, you are going to regular. thats the simplest way TO skate switch. a straight ollie would have made that trick more difficult if you think about it you wouldnt have the momentum

the only thing i can remember jamie thomas doing switch is a 5-0 180 in a line in ride the sky. As far as I'm concerned though when you're that gnarly why would you need to skate switch.
