|
|
hey,
i'm getting to be a pretty good rider and i'm tryin to step it up a bit, i've been landing tantrums since last summer but they have been pretty much 1 waker's landing like 3/4 the way to the other wake and doing them pretty low (maybe 4 feet high or so). i need some tips to just to clear that second wake and get some more height so i can add some spins to it. also, whats the best way to do a frontroll. i tried it just one time at the end of my last set and i totally f*cked it up like no other. basically i popped up and threw my head down and eventually landed on my back. thanks for any tips |

Try waiting longer before initiating your tantrum. I see a lot of riders throw tantrums early and they end up really low and casing the wake. |

i learned tantrums lately, and i also had that problem, try shortening the rope slightly or taking a harder cut... and wait for the pop, dont force it... |

are you talking about heelside or toeside front rolls? they are pretty much the same. im gonna be tryin them aswell this summer. alls i know is that you pop, and tuck ur knee into ur chest and throw ur shoulder down. lol, kinda crude instructions but im gonna give it a shot _________________ Strike another match, gonna start a new!! |

A "hs frontroll" is really a Mexican Back Roll. Don't call it a hs frontroll or the terminology nazis will give you hell _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.
