I need some help with landing my backroll.

i get around every time, landing outside of the wake.
I do it i different heights from really low to high.

On the film im pretty low.

But every time i land i sit on my back.
I have one hand on the handle and sometimes two but everytime i end up sitting on my back.

What should i do?

Heres a movie from today showing me doing two attempts.
I usually goes higher.

you're spinning too fast thats why you can't stick it...you're right there on the landing but it keeps kicking out on you. make sure you aren't throwing the backroll - thats what happens when you go too early. If you are throwing it and you get the pop from the wake you will keep over-rotating. just make sure you cut all the way through the wake and have the handle at your hip, rock some weight to your back leg and let the wake and rope do the rest. Good luck you'll get it soon! Smile let me know how it goes.

Thank you...

Right now im leaning maybe to much to my back so the spin gets to fast.

So handle to my hip, a little more weight on back foot....

The problem with me sitting on my a** every time, is that because i dont cut all the way through the wake?

I will try this tomorrow...
