i've been wakeboarding for a couple years, and just recently started trying a heelside 360. i keep trying and seem to keep having the same problem, i can make the spin and usually get the handle pass right, but somehow i get thrown off-axis every time. any suggestions on how i could land this trick? thanks!

your probably spinning off the wake, making you go off-axis. wait until your well into your jump before you begin your spin.

also, it will help if you keep your head up throughout the rotation. if you're looking down at the water while your spinning, then you'll definately go off-axis. Where the head goes, the body goes.

Think 'pop first', that will also usually help you to get a stronger release and a more balanced wake jump. And don't initiate the spin until you are reaching the peak of your jump.

try wake to wake 180's but keep both hands on the handle and do them slow it helps big time.
