Start with the trick tips:

If you try it a couple times and have problems, try to take video of it and people here can analyze it and tell you what you should work on. If you haven't tried it yet, learn from the trick tips.

Hold the handle close to your waist when you pass because its your center of gravity.

ON The Roll, I was pitiful at it untill I read the trick tips on this site now I can do it fine, what i focused on was keeping the handle tight to my body, cutting the wake hard the whole way through, and really trying to flip it, you may over spin at first but it doesnt hurt when stacking if you slightly over spin. So just practice doing that and you should be fine. Cool
