Ok, so I saw someone do a switchback for the first time in person the otehr day and it was SIC. I can do the basics, wheelies, stoppies, christs, etc. but I just have this mental blaock with turning around in the seat. How do you guys get turned around? It just seems like an impossibility to me to get turned around without losing your balance.

i pretty much just jumped up and did it dont think just try, try just sitting on the tank backwards still holding on to the bars so you have control then eventually let go

Dude my tank seems so ****in slippery, lol I remember trying to do tankers and getting launched back into the seat. Basically I want to get up like I'm going to do a tanker then swing one leg around so I'm side saddle then take the other one across the seat or what?? Am I going to have to ditch my mirrors to pull this off?

kick it in and use surf board pads.. i always try to just jump up and turn in the air and land on the tank backwards faster then getting up and spinning all the way around

start off by throwin your leg through like a can can, sit on your tank and bring your other leg over slowly to the other side. and bam your doin a switchback

get back by doin the same thing in reverse
