Start rolling switch, push switch or mongo switch, it makes no difference.
Place your front foot flat across your board, just below the front bolt.
Place your back foot in the heel side pocket, or right on the tip (your preference). Let your heel hang of the board. Be sure to keep the weight even on this foot until your ready to pop.
Transfer the weight in your back foot towards the ball of your foot, but keep your foot flat.
Pop with your back foot, push your foot down and forward to get the motion of a frontside shove-it.
Lift your front foot off the board and get it out of the way.
Let the board rotate under you as both feet come up to prepare to catch. It is important to remember to keep your weight back slightly, too much and you'll fall backwards. If you lean forward (a common mistake) the board shoots behind you and you'll only land it with pure luck.
As the board finishes the 180 degree rotation, place your feet down onto the grip. Having both your feet land on the bolts is ideal.
Bend your knees slightly to absorb the impact. The higher you go, or the bigger you go, the more you should bend your knees.
Roll away switch.
Congratulate yourself on landing it.
