hey... i know im new here and this has probably come up before, but i jus need some help with my backrolls...

I landed one about a month ago (havent been out since... i know, im going through withdrawls) but it was kinda awkward. It seems like its a whole hell of a lot more work than it should be, before the wake i have to pop into the dip before the wake (there a term for that ? Confused ) and kick as hard as i can into it... I feel i'm tucking my back shoulder (right) in plenty, i jus dunno if i should be bending my knees more or what?

thanks a ton!

Dont try to throw the trick all you have to do is stand tall at the wake. Edge alllllll the way through and look up and towards your lead shoulder. your left if your regular and right if your goofy. Then pretend there is a pole through your body and you are spinning on it. Keep the handle at waist level. and spot the water on landing. There u have it! Surprised
