wait longer for the pop. most of the time, people throw the rotation early and are not getting high enough. wait a little bit longer and it should pop you up more giving you more time in the air. You can also pull your knees in when your in the air to make the rotation faster.

I'll second being patient and waiting for this one. Almost everyone goes early when learning.

Also..... Make sure and keep the handle in tight. It makes a huge difference in the speed of your rotation. When setting up to start your progressive edge, make sure to set the handle in low and tight and keep it there through the trick.
