ollie 3 compared to 3

[Oasis137]

Today i went out and did 5 ollie 360's. First try ever doing them and only fell the first time. The handle pass was so easy. I was preparing for the w2w 360. I get the rotation everytime but I dont get the handle pass. For some reason its a lot harder then it is on an ollie 3. Any tips on how to get the pass would be appreciated.

There's a lot more line tension so you have to wait to rotate.

You are probably rotating it off the wake like you have to on the ollie. Wait until you are about at the peak of the jump and then start rotating. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to rotate around and get the handle if you wait.

Alright ill try to start my rotation at the peak of my jump. I can easily get it. Its just the handle pass. On the ollie 3 the handle pass is a no brainer.

yea man I can stick ollie 3's everytime but w2w 3's are about 1 in 3. Its just was brad said, you really gotta wait to spin instead of spinning off the wake. with the ollie you can cheat and spin right off the water and on the landing if you dont come all the way around...

Don't edge too hard on your W2W 3's either. Just enough to get from one wake to the other

I got everything down besides the handle pass. I went out again today and never fell on a ollie 3 but the w2w 3 still kills me on the handle pass.

The most important part is the edge into the wake. You pretty much dont want one. Start out wide so you drift in, pop high with your legs and let the height carry you across the wakes not edge. Not being on edge eliminates line tension, the pass is super easy when the rope is slack. This is especially true on hs 3's. It really helped me to relax in the air also. Rotate slowly in the air or you wont over-rotate. Hope this helps.
