i do not think turning your binders so you become goofy is really a good plan. it is a pain in the arse in many respects.

the only advise i would give, is duck your stance and practice! the problem is, it is tuff to ride like a learner when switch, when a quick flick of the board can see you riding like a pro as regular.

you gots to put in the time is all! re-acquaint yourself with the embarrassment and pain of falling on your arse after catching an edge! no easier, better way to do it!

the best thing i found was to find a nice entertaining piste (steep bits, flat bits, jumps and lumps).... ride it regular so you get an idea of the speed you can get, then do it all again switch. if things get hazy, stop and think about what your body does to initiate a heel / toe side turn when regular, and just turn it around to fit the switch direction.

repetition is the mother of learning. metal up and go feel like a spastic! it won't last forever!
