When i do my tantrums I get plenty of height and I can land them but I sometimes get twisted slightly in the air. What do you think causes this? I linked some pics here so you can see what I am talking about...my board goes behind me slightly instead of straight ove rmy head. Am I edging too much at the top of the wake still?

if you right click on the pics and click view image it'll make more reasonable to view

My guess would be that you're not squaring up enough w/ the wake when you switch edges.

shorter cut, less edge, and square up with the handle in line with your hip.

-cheers

i have the same problem and i was told to try and keep the handle at your hip when you leave the wake instead of throwing it up towards your head.

Your arm is way too straight. Meaning you cut to deep into the set up and didn't pull it in at all with your arm. Your elbow must be so soar after you ride. You probably get yanked if you land that. I have had the same problem. I started going back and doing small ones. Work on cutting really hard early and making sure you let off in the troff. I was tending to through them early because I was rushing at the end and then not getting any pop. You end up throwing early and getting off axis.
