blind 180s vs landing wrapped on ts fs 3's?

wakeboarder_360

Is landing blind 180s harder than landing wrapped on on a ts fs 3 because I grabbed my ts fs 3 and rode it out wrapped by accident but it was pretty easy to. I want to learn tantrums to blind so is the landing blind 180's that much tougher?

nope same idea, i learned mine by starting in the flats and ollieing to wrap, then cutting from teh middle of the wake out and landing to wraped and then trying them wake to wake. Body position is key.
If you have trouble with the wrapped part cut out switch and put the handle behind your back, then crab on to it with the right hand ( if you are left foot forward, this should put in in teh same postion as you would be in if you landed wraped) and try letting go with your lead hand so that you are wraped. If you need to holding on to the rope with your lead hand to get a little extra control and try to work your way back to ollieing to wrap.

also the later the better for the wake to wake, too early and you will go off axis, also i think spining later makes it easier to land wraped.

good luck..

I have already tried riding blind and can do that but wasn't sure if the landing will be much tougher.thanks for the help! also would it be easier to just pass the handle on the tantrum to blind?

it is pretty easy with and early pass, and better to continue on to learning mobey dicks, but way more stylish in my opinon to land wraped... so the choice is yours!

only thing to an early pass is turning that head and going for that handle right off the wake. There is video in my media gallery of an early handle pass....
