Are you ready for backrolls? Like what else can you do on the water?

First, did u check out the trick section on the main part of wb.com? If not, take a look. It explains it pretty well.

Use a nice progressive edge, cut almost like your going away from the wake. You don't need to clear the wake on a backroll, just try to land it first. Ride up the whole wake then start the backroll rotation.Don't forget to stand tall at the wake. Make sure to look over the leading shoulder to spot your landing. Keep the handle tight, the tighter the handle the faster you spin... i think. To slow down the rotation, as if your overroatation just raise the handle to slow the rotation.

like colefooter said when your doing the backroll pull the rope tight to your body..and also the harder you cut the higher your going to get..i just started landing them so thats what has helped me.

Turn on your edge right when you get to the wake and take it straight up- you should be in the same position as kid's avatar when you are leaving the wake.
