my bro is tryin these but he flips them like reverse cartwheels not really like a roll. he is coming up short and clipping the other wake with his nose. what advise should i give him?

Keep the handle in tighter. He is probably letting his handle out thus slowing the rotation down. A Backroll is a backwards cartwheel and if it looks like it then he is getting the idea of it correct.

have him edge his hardest at the wake. this will give him more height and make him land it

if he keeps the handle in towards his body that will help 2

Cap'nPimp, sounds like he is doing the right thing, just needs to get a little more air. Don't take such a big cut, and get high and the air. Look over leading shoulder to spot the landing
