What is Switch in Skateboarding?

Riding and performing tricks in the opposite of your natural stance — like a right-handed batter batting left-handed. Switch versions of tricks score significantly higher because everything must be relearned mirror-image.

Example: His switch tre flip down the big stairs scored highest of the final.
