i'm not sure but try to go out more into the flats a little and spin faster...it'll give you more pop if you try to get in the flats and then you can come all the way around i bet

I just landed my first hs fs 5 yesterday, as well as my first one switch. What worked for me was to take a nice easy cut in with my knees bent real good and hit the wake so I went nice and high wake to wake. You really want to make sure you edge through the wake, that will help you to not slip out on your butt on the landing.

When you pass the handle, move it across the front of your body quickly and at least try for the second handle pass. I was able to get that second pass on both of mine, I think that helped to get me in position to edge away from the wake on my ts edge.

Other than that, just make sure you're mentally ready to ride away from it, and really bend your knees on the landing! Good Luck!
