looks like you are leaving at the top of the wake which is good. you might try straightening your legs as much as possible at the top to get a little more height. once you pop you arent looking straight back which slows down your roatation ALOT. imagine you can look straight down your spine. try that next time out and report back here with the results.

Yup, keep both hands on the handle like you are doing on most of them and look back off the top of the wake with authority. The goal is to spot the landing as soon as possible, does not look like you are tryn to do that.

As you leave the wake HUMP the SKY....

I had the hardest time keeping both hands on the handle, I would look back get around fine but keep coming up short. Letting the arm out SLOWS you way down.

J_dogg,
(not to hi-jack the thread, but...)
Whenever I do toe-side back rolls, If I keep both hands on the handle I end up doing ts br to revert. If I let go of the handle going up the wake, I do a back roll... I've just accepted this, and depending on which one I want to do, I either let go with one hand, or hold on with both. I cant seem to get the rotation right for a ts backroll without letting go.
Is it all about handle position (keep it more glued to my lead hip), or what am I doing wrong?
I have a vid in my galery that has a ts br to revert as the 4th or 5th trick. It is exactly what happens every time I keep both hands on the handle.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
