Ive been triying to do a backroll for the last couple of weeks and probably tried it 60 times. The closet I get is usually my first try. How many tries did it take u, have any advice?

one thing to keep in mind is there is usually another gap between landing it your first time and getting where you can land it every single time. at least that's how it was for me... and i wasn't expecting it, so it sucked.

Skwake, haha i hate when that happens...land a trick easy after one or a few times, and can't do it again.

it took me a while to land a backroll for some reason. i started to give up on it, but in 03 i started to finally land them.

i think it was my 11th try but does anyone know how to get more pop cause i cut really hard and go way into the flats but my friend goes higher and he doesnt cut as hard????

9 tries.AbsoluteRida, dont cut as hard. when you cut out just simply cut out 10-15 feet tops. slowly build an edge and cut really hard about a foot from the bottom of the wake, so you will have quite a bit of line tenstion but not alot of speed. then wait for the pop, dont release to early and if you throw them high and right, you will feel the rope pull you right off of the wake, you will rotate it and sometimes if i go really high, im able to spot my landing and look at the water comfortably before i land
