TS 360 off kicker (cable) need little help....

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

Ok I need a little help. I got my 180's consistent off the kicker at the cable (toeside) and today I decided to try some 3's. I tried a bunch and each one got better, till after a while i got tired. I get the spin most of the time. But i accidently go into a 540, and dont know how to stop it. I have the board on my feet the majority time of the spin, but loose it sometimes, and loose it when I over rotate. I landed on the board twice, as well but thats it. Most of them I tried landing wrapped, because when I went for a handle pass I would spin too fast, and over rotate even more...any tips? Remember its off of a kicker, and toeside. Anything will help. I will try and get some clip of it that might help. Thanx in advance for any help.

Dude you should post a clip so i can see what your doing wrong but by the way how big is the kicker? anyways try on going up the kicker as usuall and this time try to rotate slower than usuall and if that doesnt work sorry bro! Neutral

I just said I will try and get a video clip, but its hard to get someone to do it for me, but ill try....i tried rotating slower, it helped i think.....would it be easier to land wrapped, or just got for the handle pass......and i am not a bro, hence "gurl" in my name

Screw it, just do a 540.
Has anyone landed a 540 yet, I know few people were trying it??
Well try leaving the handle pass untill as late as possible, that should stop you over-rotating.

I think he said he is putting out a video in the next couple of days of stuff he has done in the past week. i cant wait to see this! I think his name is like funnyfeni.. yeah thats it. look out for this kid, he was talking to a friend of mine and this kid has been wakeskating off and on since last october and he's been riding alot at owc for the past 2 months. he should be out there this weekend. maybe saturday he will be there and do the kickflip.
