I can ride switch perfectly as long as I don't have to turn.

so do I.

I did get a bit better on my last trip, but I still catch edges often

Wakeboarding is even worse

You want to do them both ways for sure, but to learn them, start with what feels most comfortable to master the edge control, then do them the other way.

hahaha I remember the last time I was doing surface spins....I did them non stop all the way down the bunny slope, I got to the bottom, stopped to get in the lift line and just colapsed because I was so dizzy...

On a side note: How would binding risers affect my ride?

Depends on a lot of things, what you riding? how much overhang is there? Do you think you need them? are you riding a wide board?

Well my board is 250 at waist and my boot size is 11. I have some overhang but nothing really to bother me that much.

Not sure if they would help you, I guess you don't lose anything by trying them out. Well you do lose some $$$.

Nope, if i don't like them, they "didn't" work, and i return them. But size twelve on a 255 with risers should be good?

If so, I may just buy a skate banana, if I can find one
