On the one backroll video i watched you just needed to hold on to the rope. I have found that to get the rotation down the main thing you need to do is hold on and it will pull you around. I am surprised you haven't landed ityet by that video cuz it looked pretty nice.

I couldn't view the videos.. error downloading codec. You might want to try compressing them with a different codec. Or if you have it available use WMV.

dude you are going off axis. nobody can hold on if you land on your ass. take a more progressive edge. slow the boat down too and have a longer rope. i bet you didnt have any weight in the boat either. what kind of boat is that, the wake suck for an inboard

you are haulin some butt.... but wake sux bad. need to do somethin about that so you get more air. but on a good note your butt should be clean with all the enemas ya got by landing on your booty

one of the reasons ur not landin it is cause ur slidin out to fix this as ur comin around from the flip let go with ur back hand that way u should square up and land clean. then not letting go with both hands shold be easy bro!
