Tell me what you think. Those were done with a cheap $20 rope and handle. I can't wait to go back out with the new rope and handle next week when the river level drops back to normal.

Soooo I'm still not completely consistent with 360's but this looks like a classic example of what happens when you try to spin by throwing your body instead of using the line to help you more. When I was learning 3's, I would try just this and I would maybe be able to land the 3 but never with the rope. If you wait to start the spin until just after you launch off the wake you will probably have more success (that's what works for me, anyways). If you're not used to using the line to spin, try doing some ollie 180's. You don't even have to throw your body at all, if you just get a descent height ollie and tug with your back arm, let your body spin, and the boat basically does all the work for you. The 3 is similar but it takes a little more strength and of course you have to pass the handle.

With that flip if you would have just held on with both hands you most likely would have landed it.

I agree with Lucas...On the 360, it looks like you are throwing your body which throws you off axis....just give a good pull to your right hip and pass the handle....

Thanks I will try that. Also we just got a new coated spectra rope and new handle. So that should help some also since we were wakeboarding with a very cheap ski rope.
