t b d, Your thinking of the wrapped handle.Which is for doing spins wehre you dont have to pass the handle. Hes talking about riding blind with the handle behind his back.
To stay in that position though just make sure you keep the handle tight into your lower back, bend over at your waist and look the opposite way you are moving. _________________ http://www.centurionboats.com/

| yea, look at the shore, keep your back hand tight against your back, and with your free hand just reach around and grab the handle, I think it's called riding cuffed (I'm guessing because your hands look like they are in handcuffs). |

| try practicing by riding switch and putting the handle behind your back. its kinda hard to explain but riding switch reach behind your back with your back hand and try and put the handle in that hand ride with both hands for a while and then slowly let go. it will help you learn proper body position for riding blind. |

| yeah, what The Headless Chicken said helped me a lot! it helps a lot when you're already trying blind 180 and w2w blind 180, and like everyone said keep the handle tight to to your back!! that's very important |
