Ok i am suckin it up pretty bad here, i can land a tantrum but i started backrolls last week and for some reason i really really cant hold onto the handle. Its the weirdest thing but i get about to the water and just let go then land perfectly. Feel free to offer advise or just make fun of me for bein such a wuss.

Keep the rope in closer to your hips. Maybe you will rotate faster and not feel inclined to let go of the rope. Other than that it looks like you should have landed just about all of them.

wakeboarder2342, i had the exact same problem, except i can't tantrum. just don't think about it. the first time i held on to the handle it popped out of my hands. next try i landed it . it took me a good 15 trys in a row to land it. about 40 total
