Help with backroll

[flounderbout]

You guys have the patience of saints - I know there have been a million posts asking for help on back rolls, but I just can't seem to nail it. Any ideas based on these two attempts...?

Any tips greatly appreciated. Oh, and anyone know a decent cure for whiplash?

those attempts looked pretty good, one suggestion would be to try to keep an edge once you land

dude you got it just hold on for dear life, just do what devon said and remember to keep a good strong edge thru the wake so you can get good air

and for the whiplashes i cant help you there, the just happen

Man just keep trying them, youre so close. I remember when I was that close, you gotta just keep trying and squeeze that handle like its a million bucks. Dont let go.

Only tip I have for you is to maybe keep the rope lower, the 2nd attempt its pretty high, which will slow down your rotation and maybe throw off your balance.


Good luck!

Only thing i could say is on the 1st attempt it looked like you started the rotation before the top of the way. but the second one you held it nicely, just hold that rope.

The first one your board was flatten when hitting the wake- dig your heel edge hard.

The second one- you could have landed it if you had leaned on your rope a bit harder with your shoulders when hitting the wake and stuck your hips out(wash your dick in the sink). When you do that you will fall back to the rope and it will catch you when you land- How you take off is how you land!

The rest is prefect do not change a thing.
