Fronside 3's are way easier. I thought backside 3's would be easier at first because you end up landing frontside, but Frontsides are 10X easier.

backside is easier for some people. what you want to do it wait to initiate the spin at the peak of the jump. if not, you will go off axis, and have a hell of a time getting the handle. also, it helps to hunch over away from the boat as you start to spin, to keep the boat from pulling you off your axis. at the peak, pull the handle in with both hands, and dont release your front hand until your back hand has firm grip. once the handle is passed, look back toward the boat and rip that handle across to your original front hip. the landing should come in a few attempts, just land and edge away. good luck.

This trick is all about the handle pass. focus everying on poping then pulling the handle. The rest is a peice of cake.

I got backside 3's alot faster than frontside but its all what your comfortable with.
Try to pop first and then pull. That will keep you on axis.

3 key stages: pop, pull, pass.

i think you should first try w2w fs 360
when you do it, it'll be a lot easier to make a bs 360
right?

like everyone has said most people find fs360 easier. Make sure u pop first and then start you're roatation instead of starting u spin as you are leaving the wake. As soon as you have the handle in your other hand you should be pritty sweet

im not to big a fan of wrapped tricks but a wrapped 360 nosegrab looks awsome

work on your hs bs 180s with a handle pass (rather than landing wrapped). Then when you hit one that feels like you have a bit of air time, just reach around for the handle with your back hand to finish the last 180 (would be like a switch ts fs 180).
Good luck.

when you try bs 360 do a handle pass early
then you'll have enough time to do the second 180 comfortable

FS is way easier if your cutting in heelside. TS on the other hand, heelside is easier for me.

What??? You started saying TS on the other hand, then didn't finish your thought. Confused
