@ButterYerToast i had the same problem just practice really, i ride goofy and it is real easy riding heel side but toe side was a problem, practice alot, if your going slow be sure to keep your legs straight but no locked in, but if your gona carve hard and fast on toe side be sure to keep your legs bent, best tips i know.

@INeedJesusPr0s there are plenty of goofy pros, you just can't tell because they ride switch just as well.

I can ride goofy but have so much trouble carving on toe side with speed. Any tips?

@xSnowxBoardx10 if you have a "non twin board" its time to get a new board

Where do you guys film?

I thought switch meant to switch your lead leg.

That looks like such a nice mountain. Where is it?

@Balto92 Good thing I learned switch while beginning snowboarding
I learned switch by doing a specific exercise. Going on one edge in regular, i'd turn, the other, and then continue turning until i make a full circle and get on the same edge in switch. Going toe to toe was 10 times easier than heel to heel here as it felt it took me way longer to finish the turn. After doing this for a while linking turns in switch became easy.

@pailhead11 - It can be a little tough to do a full circle, but half circles can be a good way to practice, C Turns.

Is it a lot harder to learn switch with a non twin board?

@xSnowxBoardx10 - It does not make it easier, but it can be done.
