I took me like 20 times because I never actually waited for the tripping motion. As soon as I hit the wake I hucked it around. The main thing is to let the wake initiate the tantrum, or you will have trouble getting enough pop. also you might want to keep a bend in your arm because it speeds up the rotation a bit. This trick is easy to spot the landing so good luck!

The most important part of the tantrum is the trip-flip edge. Let the wake initiate the trick. My advice would be to practice changing edges up the wake without actually trying to huck the trick. That will give you a better feel for the timing. Once you have that down, go for it ! GOOD LUCK!

haha, i saw a guy do one behind a PWC yesterday, he came really really close to landing it. people can do them without the wake (bel air) even.

hey man hopefully this will help you

TANTRUM
1.cut out about 15-20ft
2.take a progressive edge into the wake at about a medium speed
3.when you reach the bottom of the wake, let go of the handle with your back hand and "surf" up the wake (lay off the edge and cruze up the wake)
4.this will cause the wake to trip you
5.when this happens just do what you do on ur trampoline and flip backwards and try to spot ur landing
6. once uve spotted ur landing, bend ur knees to absorb the shock

It took me about 10 times and I got it This past sunday. The biggest thing is to wait until you are at the top of the wake. I was throwing myself around as soon as I was going up the wake. After i got the timing down i was sticking it every time. good luck

I was having this same problem too. Tried my first Tantrum this past weekend and it felt like I was "throwing" the move rather than having the wake "trip" me. I'm not sure if I quite understand the final move before leaving the wake, could someone re-explain it? Also, when you get this "trip", how much effort do you need to throw it around? Thanks, I hope to try out advice this weekend...

I have the same thing too i can Spin the rotations but when i dont clear the wake doing it I have a huge landing smack so it makes me loose the rope but when i clear the wake if i hold on and i have my balance Its easy to ride away
