Not bad, you're pretty close. A few things:

- Hold on with two hands on the rope for a little bit longer. It should help keep your rotation on the right axis and moving a bit quicker.

- Edge away from the boat just a little more right as you're coming up the wake. This will also snap you around a little faster.

- On the landing, get your eyes up towards the shore you're heading towards. You'll see in the video you're looking down at the water. You want your head up so you can stop your rotation and land on your toes.

- Don't let go of the rope early like you did, it'll be tough to land it if you're rope tossing. You can't do a thing without the string!

also, keep practicing switch, no matter how good you are, you can always get better.

Do it like my attempts at rolls. The natural motion is r2r. Keep both hands on longer. That's it and you will get it.

It looks like you just need to fully commit. Also as soon as you let go with your lead hand you want to point the handle down and really close to your back hip. Like on higher education it says to place the handle as if you are putting it in your pocket.
