Make sure you look over your sholder as you spin. I've also found passing the handle earlier helped me.

i tryed that, and thought it helped, but then i realized i was just looking further, not spinning further, my feet, knees, chest were still landing pointing right at the boat.
it also seemed to make me a bit more unbalanced in the air.

thanks for the help though, ill keep trying that.

STANG KILLA SS, keep the handle as close as possible, before and after the pass. If you let it out, you lose your line tension, which is what you use to control your rotation speed.

Also, think about getting your front hand back on the handle by the time you've landed. This will help get your shoulders and hips around, and the rest will follow.

The nice thing about HS BS spins is that you cal fall into the last rotation by setting the tail down first, and your momentum will carry you around to get your nose pointed the right way.

Try landing back on your tail ever so slightly. This way, even if you under rotate you can still make the trick. If I'm under rotating I tend to try to push my legs and board in front of my body, rotation wise. Thats usually how I've turned my 180 in to 360s and my 3s into 5s. Once you do it a couple times it gets easier and easier.

The biggest thing for this trick is to have a comfortable handle pass. Cause thats where most of your rotation is going ot come from anyways.
