i just got my toeside w2w jumps down the other weekend so i went for a ts fs 180, but when i jump ts i let go with my right hand so i landed the 180 but it pulled me back and i caught an edge and went down. any tips for landing the 180?

do it small at first.

take an extremely small cut and be relaxed, pop ts for a little one wake jump, and just make sure to hold on with your right hand. Your body will naturally want to come around.

I landed my first two on tues. (YAY ME, I'm pretty stoked about it). It took 5 tries, I worked my way up to it by doing a lot of switch riding, and surface spins. Like Blindside_137, said go small at first, my first one I landed about half way across my wake, landed smooth, second one was pretty ugly I cased the back of the wake, pretty hard landing but I rode it out.

I recently thought I had toeside wake jumps down - landed a couple w2w. Then the next time i went out I couldn't really get it again... Kind of random but hey glad to see the above guys are getting the TS down.

Go big or go home boys!

I tried inserting it in my hs w2w, before attempting it one wake. The results... not so good. Very Happy

Then I tried it again to the "hey I wanna be a rockstar" song and this is the normal outcome. I am short about 10% on the rotation, or forget to let go with my right hand, and come up a little short and slide out on my ass.

I should prolly be trying the inside wake 180's first, yeah?

Ollie 1s, inside out 1s, one wake 1s, then wake to wake. I usually skip the inside out because I don't feel like it helps me much, but that's just me. When you start to revert back on the landing, it's because you're not landing on edge. Push the handle out towards the flats to start tracking again and you'll ride away clean.
