Hey everyone. Does anyone know if you can approach the wake wrapped and do a frontside spin? Cause I know typical wrapped tricks are backside tricks.. wrapped KGB, blind 180, etc... I've been working on my 540 now for so long but I cant get it. The problem is that when I concentrate on passing the handle, I dont concentrate on the spin and usually only get to a 360. When I concentrate on the spin, I can get to the 540 but I lose the handle. I was thinking that maybe if I tried the trick starting wrapped that I might not have to worry about the handle pass. I'm trying them toeside by the way. I don't know. Maybe when I get a ski pole I'll have more time in the air to do this trick. Anyways, any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Greg.

if you can do frontside wraps it would be extremely awkward. id say keep working on them without the wrap. just think about doing a big ts 3 but then after youve completed the rotation look around for the boat as your coming down. this should open up your shoulders and help you get that last 180.

a ts fs wrapped 540 would be really awkward. Your prob better off to do a hs fs wrapped 5 or switch hs fs wrapped 5. you only have to pass the handle once on the ts fs 5 so I don't think it would be easier wrapped.
