Keep the handle at your hip when you jump... it helps you keep your balance better and keeps you on axis.

My first 360 was HS BS on an out of control backside (natural) rotation. I came off the wake, noticed my bs rotation and said "hey why not pass the handle" and stuck it

i cant really do just a 180 cuz i cant really ride switch that well yet, but goin for a 360 sounds like a plan

well bub I'd say u might wanna get more consistant with your w2w jump b4 your start goin for that backside 3 ... just cause u need to be aware of what u are doin in the air and if u are throwin that backside spin on accident then u obviously arent aware of what u are doin while in the air .... just food for thought ... that is why they call it a progressive learning ... not jump around and throw a whirlybird bird b4 u land a tantrum ... its all good though man just have some fun with it and it will all work out

Yea definatly get your w2w jumps down before you start trying any other spins. When I was learning progressive edging and I started to spin i just passed the handle because I didnt want to end up on my head, and dont ask me how, landed it Smile

Luck

could puttin to much weight on my back foot when on edge start the rotation?
i mean the only time i spin backside is when i take a really hard edge at the wake,
goin w2w is easy its when i want to hit the wake really hard and get alot of pop
and land in the flats thats im spinnin

your probably pulling the handle to close to your lead hip or almost kinda past it, this is what happens to me on toeside backrolls. when i put too much weight on my back foot i spin frontside so that probably is not it. or your pulling to hard with your lead hand on take off.
