You stated it feels like your 'over-rotating', but I don't think you are.
Personally I think you need to reach for the handle sooner; right as you come off the wake you want to go for the handle pass, this will start your rotation! The faster you feel like you can get the handle, the better off you are. Once you pass the handle it's just a matter of letting the rope unwind. |

I think what I meant was that I was overrotating my front roll, hence me smacking my back. I do think that I need to pass earlier, and get a little more "rotation" out of my spin. _________________ www.blackwaterrydas.com |

Agreed, because in the first video you barley have the handle until you are over the landing side wake. The second one is super close, if you would have kept the handle in or pulled it in forcefully across your chest, you'd had it. Of course you shouldn't need to do that, there should be some tension, which is what unwraps you.
You really have it bro, tell yourself you got it and do it.
You got that stuff man!! Now zoom that camera in and go kill it! |

Looks like you're right there, a couple you could have definitely ridden away from if you had a better grasp on the handle.
How were the crashes on these when you first started going after it? Me and a buddy have been chasing crow mobes this year and have both noted that the crashes are usually really minor. I'd be really interested to see if I could convince myself to start trying these guys |

You've got the rotation down, but you're slapping your back and it looks like it's because you're landing with the board facing forward instead of rotating about another 45 degrees and riding out and away from the wake with the way your momentum is carrying you. If you can get a lil more out of your spin, you'll have it no problem bud! |

b33nine, The falls werent too bad.. took an ankle bender or two, but other than that not too bad.. The getting my back smacked is kinda sucking, but again, its honestly not too bad of a fall at all. Id say go for it.. _________________ www.blackwaterrydas.com |

I am assuming you can do a front roll, so try and take your FR straight up a few times; not out into the flats, go for heigth. For me I edge in with more speed, pretty much lock my left (lead) leg and feel like I wait forever to trip it. Then I try and throw it away from the boat and not across. This throwing it away from the boat keeps the line tension up. It may be the wrong way, but give that a whirl and see what happens. All you can do is crash |
