1. when doing whirly's should u throw ur shoulders more away from the boat when u square up to the wake (like a moby) or do u pop like a normal tantrum and then initiate the spin?

2. on the r2r i seem to rotate really slowly and keep missing the grab, im worried that if i throw the mobe im gonna just catch my back edge?

any tips on either trick,

t.w.a, On a whirly it helps to bring your front knee up higher than you would on a regular tantrum, and try to do it with your board facing more towards the boat off the wake. The other key is to look over your back shoulder, and pull the handle across your face to finish the rotation. As for backmobes, they're a long way away from a roll to revert. You need to have excellent handle control and keep it very close to your body. I get all the way around when I try them, but I have no clue where the handle it when it's time to make the pass. needless to say, I haven't ridden away from one yet.

all me crazy but it looks like your doing a 5 and not a 3. u might know that u are but u listed that u were doin a 3 above in ur list of tricks and it looks like a 5 to me because ur coming in one way and landing another. I forgot which way it was but I think u came in left foot forward idk if that's ur regular stance then u handle passed spun and landed right foot forward and that wud be a 5 because u added a extra rotation. idk if u didn't list it on there on purpose or what but I'm kinda confused since u said it was a 3, call me crazy if I'm wrong lol
