Another great variation of the feeble to learn is the switch feeble. Basically the same rules
apply for this trick as with the feeble to fakie. It's a great trick to have. What you
do is you roll fakie up the ramp, or switch, you're actually in the switch foot placement
position with your foot on the nose and your other foot placed somewhere above the back
trucks or the back wheels. Once you get to the top of the ramp you poke the board up
on top and you just get one wheel on top of the ramp, the one underneath your heel, and
you swivel a little backside and you get into this position. You lock in this position and
then you shift your weight and you clear your back two wheels from the coping, land, and
roll away forward. So some of the tricks that you'll have to be able to do already to do
this trick is you'll have to be comfortable in at least doing disasters and being able
to roll in because this motion is very similar to that. The other thing that you're going
to have to be able to have already is be able to do switch pivots. If you can already do
the switch pivot then the switch feeble is related to that motion, but it's also the
next step after doing the feebles to fakie. The other thing you're going to want to make
sure that you're good at is being able to roll up the ramp switch and in the switch
position, and being able to get enough speed to get you all the way into the switch feeble
position. Sometimes it's difficult to get all of your weight and all of your speed on
top of the ramp so I suggest doing a switch drop in or a nose tap from the other side.
