Moving on...Tootsie Roll Help, Please

well, i got a good boost of confidence from learning a TS Backroll 2 Blind 180, or a g-spot, and i want to learn another toeside invert, so i thought i would try a tootsie roll. any help would be appreciated. and, also, please be able to land this trick, i don't want someone to give me tips by just what they think i should do during the trick.

my handlepasses are pretty good on my ts bs 180's, i would probably start actually going for the handle after a few tries. but, what i need work on is how to start the motion for the trick.

thanks in advance.

be sure you have a good front roll that's over the top and not out the back like a scarecrow...

next, ride in the trough pull the handle with both hands to your front hip then keep pulling with your front hand (reach around with your back hand) and actually pass the handle to your back hand for a couple seconds. do that a few times next to the wake to get a little muscle memory. start pulling the handle to pass it as you come off the wake. visualize it and do it.

let me know how it turns out.

it will be a few days until i will try it. soccer games/practice kinda ruins it a little bit for me.

should i start to turn my back right off of the wake?

Right off the wake dump your front shoulder down, look behind you and pull the handle to your lead hip with BOTH hands. The handle can be a pain on this trick so pull it real hard at the start of the trick. The sooner you get the handle the easier it will be. You can see the water throughout the whole trick so when you see your coming down for your landing keep your arm in and be ready cause not an easy landing. Goodluck

weston, ok sped, settle down. you obviously don't know poo either because you didn't help me with tips for a tootsie roll.

Phil, thanks for the tips. at the end of my set tonight, i may give it a whirl a couple of times.

K-wood Kid, a ts frontflip 2 blind is a fruit loop. a ts frontroll with a bs 180 is a toosie roll, which i am asking for help on.
