I've been trying OA spins on my buddies tramp, but can't seem to get it right. Everytime i start to go off-axis i just end up going inverted and doing a roll-to-revert. Does anyone have any advice??? I want to learn them on the tramp before doin them on the water so i can get the feel for doing the spin itself.-

Learn an OA 180 (sort of like a batwing) first to get the feel of the rope...

Just think about it buddy. Don't throw it so hard if you're getting inverted. Just spin and throw your legs out. Not too hard.

Yes. a handfull of different ones.

I does take a little bit of work to get the feel of it, keep at it.

Think of passing the handle under your butt, and pass it the same way you would on the water. You can fool around with them on a tramp but releasing them off the wake feels a lot different- its hard to simulate off axis spins on the tramp, same as backrolls, because your release and the angle you leave the wake is what sends you off-axis. If you are having trouble getting your legs up and around, think about making an arc in the sky like a rainbow.

If you want to take them to the water, read the trick tips on this site, it should help you a lot.

Do a roll to revert but dont throw your head up and back keep your head looking down. And do like jim said try and pass the handle under your butt.
