My brother and I are attempting backrolls. We're both consistent W2W and have 180's and stuff...we are just wondering where you are supposed to look after you have your progressive edge and your pop off the wake. I've heard of putting your ear on your leading shoulder, putting your ear on your trailing shoulder...looking over your shoulder...higher education said that you're supposed to be looking the way you're supposed to go...but i don't reallly know which way i'm supposed to go. I've used the search button like 100 times but i still can't find a definite answer. PLEASE HELP!

Basically like The Headless Chicken said. I just say look over your front shoulder, you will see the water that way.

Look up and away. it's really a reverse cart wheel motion so you should be spotting your landing fairly early.

Wait for the pop (hardest part of the trick) and you will come right around.

then your leading/front shoulder would be your left shoulder if you are coming in L foot first/regular.
