Popping The Handle

I am trying 2 tricks and this keeps happening, TS fronts and grabbing my tantrum. The handle keeps popping during mid rotation. Is this because I am switching my edge too hard?

Probably, I am having the same problem when i land the rope comes out just as i hit. would that be do to leaning to far forward and not landing on my back edge.

Stamper, what trick is this on? Yes, popping the handle means the handle gets ripped from my hands. This is happening as I am upside down, not on the landing.

I cant figure out why the handle would get popped from your hands when your upside down

Maybe your throwing the trick too hard and that causing you to throw your weight against the rope... i could see that happening on both tricks.

The further away your hand comes from your body, the further forward you get and then loosing the handle.. keep the handle at your hip right off the wake.. think muscles, lol.. for any grabbed invert it's the same, you have to keep the handle in.. to get your body more compact... so yea just make a conciese effort to keep the handle in while hitting the wake...

Is that it? I'm having the same problem on an ungrabbed Mexican.

I finally got a video of one of my attempts so I can see what I look like. Everything looks pretty good except I lose the handle while I'm upside down. When I'm attempting the trick it feels like the handle gets popped out of my hands. Not sure if there is something wrong with my technique or if I'm just being a wuss.

I feel like I'm making a pretty good effort to keep the handle in. Anything else I should be paying attention to?
