ok i landed my first invert last week. my problem is this...i kinda went out knowing nothign about form and just did what i found most comfortable. it looks pretty cool its not evenall that sloppy i watched it onvideo. i go in and hit it heelside and let my board flow all the way up the wake so that the rotation initiates. as i do this i let go with my rear hand and tuck over and grab my knees with my rear hand and just do a frontflip. so basically its a heelside frontflip. is there a name for that trick??? PS i tried a tantrum but i just dont have the air for it. i ride behind a 13 whaler with a 50 HP and practically no wake so i cant get more than about 4 feet. when i flip my head is only like 6-10 inches off the water. my other question is about 360s. i cant do one yetbut ive never really tried. do you need much air? when you hit it heelside which is easier...spin toside or heelside? thanks i appreciate any help

The controversy continues.....

A HS Front Flip is a tip to tail rotation, you are doing a mexi roll, AKA sloppy HS backroll... It's all good cuz I still do them like that when I reach for the grab that I never get....

Some people find TS 3 easier, I don't, the HS 3 came first for me and all my TS 3's end up going to 540. try them each way and see what feels the best...
Remember POP, PULL, PASS... don't let go of the handle till you have it in the other hand...
