after getting my confidence up today when i nailed my tantrum 2 blind, i thought about evening up my tricks and trying a ts backroll to blind, and needed some tips. i won't try it for a while because i am going to try to get my ts bs 180's perfect tomorrow so i can do this easily. thanks in advance.

Try it wrapped first

K-wood Kid, i might take a few tries of it with a handle pass. if that doesn't work out i will switch handles and try it wrapped. i got a byerly handle without having a wrap handle because i thought i wouldn't need it.

any advice on doing it handlepass? i am thinking of going off the wake, turning the nose of the board straight up so i can get the spin initiated, and then reach around for the handlepass once i get around enough. would that be right?

Only advice I got is do it on the tramp and make sure you initiate the flip then pull the handle to the small of your back to start the spin. Also make sure you look for the horizon not down at the water when you land.

alright thanks. i can do it on the tramp pretty well...so hopefully i can get close on it.

i did it twice today, just kind of throwing it to get used to the rotation and i get all the way around, but i only need the handlepass.
