I'm no pro but it looks like your turning your board to early, try to ride up the wake more before you turn the board. Couple of them it looked like you had it then you got pulled forward on the landing try to keep the handle in more.

your cutting too soft. take a nice hard cut then back off. you are casing the wake and getting little height. At that speed the trip flip isn't very strong. also really push up instead of out.

Basically get as much speed as you can on the cut in towards the wake. Ride the whole way up, then at the top of the wake turn your board so you flip. Don't throw it, trip it.

Good luck

Went out tonight, Tried another tantrum and landed way in the flats and sprang my ankle. tried another run but it was little w2w for me. Iced er up when i got home. THe reason I sprang my ankle is cause my bindings are too big. (XL) they will be on the classified adds ASAP. Looking for LG's

That really sucks about the sprain. Your attempts look similar to mine. I would say that you aren't waiting for the trip and just hucking it. That's what I do and I get all teh way around like you but just can't stick it.

Steelerguy, also. and those that you didnt case the wake, and landed back ont the board, your head was looking down. Tray and keep your head up. if you look, you landed with the board facing the way you poped, not edging away heelside, this is causeing you to not ride away. Keep your eyes on the tower, this will open your chest at the end...

Also seems like you're not spotting your landing, or at least wasn't prepared for the landing. At least on one of those you looked like you had it, but you landed and just crumpled.

While you're injured, you may want to work more on your TS moves too, since having tricks from only one side makes you 1/2 the rider you could be. Wink

(1/4 if we're counting switch)

That first one looks like you had it but you weren't ready to land it. Looks like almost a tantrum to revert as you pulled too hard to your back hip and swung your back leg around almost perpendicular to the boat travel. The others, yeah, looks like you're throwing it too early. The first one is the one I'd concentrate on; ie. got good pop and just needed to ride away from that landing. Try pulling to your front hip more, that will get you to land going in the right direction.
