If your doing tantrums and backrolls its a bit easier all you do is kick your knees to your chest reach down and grab but dont look at your board keep your head back and spot your landing i hope this helps

Make sure you don't grab to early, you want to be sure that you pop high before going for the grab.

you don't have to throw the invert as hard cuz when you grab you'll rotate faster. take alittle off of your cut in and focus on getting good height (using somewhat of an olly pop) as soon as you leave the wake bring your legs up and grab. then you just have to dial in the landings which are alittle tougher cuz you'll drob straight down with not much speed. hope this helps.
