I can do a hsfs 3 consistantly now after learning how to get the slack but i was wondering about the tsfs 3 and the hsbs 3 are these much harder and do i have to have tons of slack because i am worried that on ts i wont be able to cut as easy and still clear the wake like i can on hs to get slack????? Any tips.................

if you can comfortable jump toeside, the toeside 3 is so much easier. the rotation is almost effortless. same concept as a heel 3, just pop, then pull the handle across to your back hip, and then pass it right before you land. one thing is dont try and spin it hard or pass the handle too early or you will go to 5.

well ts, you really want to spin on your way down. for me, i would always spin to early and slid out on my heels, so just wait till your peak to start spinning. as you do for all 360s. also, don't bring your head around to the boat, that will cause you to slide out as well, it's much easier to land looking behind yourself.

backside 3's are pretty easy, if you can do a hs bs 180, you start spinning just a little sooner. some people try to spot the boat, others landmarks on shore, and some the wake. just try to pull the handle across your body after you pass the handle. if you can try to regrab the handle so you have two hands. (easier landing, yoiu can do it with one though)

Does anyone have good step-by-step instructions on how to learn a HS or TS 360? I can do both HS and TS FS 180's and want to try a 360 this weekend and would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

ok thans for the help! I went out today and landed my hs fs 360 and decided to do a ts 360. It is the easiest thing ever as far as the rotation and the handle the only thing that was hard was i kept going to a 540 and when i finally just rotated a 360 i then slid out but i will definately have these landed nextime out! Thanks and also landed a late hsbs180 so i may try the hs bs360 thanks for all the tips!!!!

Ive landed TS 3s before but I had a big slump and since then I cant land them. I tried like 5 yesterday and I kept on getting a little off axis and/or landing it with like 90% of my weight on my front foot making me submarine and eat it. What am I doing wrong?

LFADAM, As far as getting off axis on your ts spins, this is a simple fix. When you are charging into the wake, and trying to create the slack you need, you are using your upper body to control the line tension. You need to rely on your legs to get the proper edge up and through the wake. If you lean back, then yes, the boat is going to continue pulling you back, more so on your landing. As for your weight being on your front foot, this is just a mental block. Try your hardest to just keep the weight back on your landing and dont lean forward quite as much. (again, going back to posture).
