well i am having a little trouble. Hope someone can help. On my Hs 3's i can do the rotation, get the handle and all that jazz. my problem is when i land i have the handle but my board slips and i end up sliding out onto my back. should i be pullung harder on the takeoff? i've tried about 50 times and it's the same every time. I want to lan them now,please help!!!
I have attached a photo of the landing maybe this will help someone figure out what im doing wrong[/img][/list]

I had a similar problem. I always fell on my butt. When you take off of the wake try to lean whichever way you need to to compensate for how you're landing. It sounds like you should try leaning a little towards the boat when you leave the wake. That should help. It helped me.

Maybe some fins on your board will help it from sliding?

I will have to try leaning a little forward. hopefully that will do the trick. i need to land this.
I hate riding with fins. i took them off about a month ago and hate riding with them on. it feels like you are stuck to the water. i feel my edging is a lot better since taking them off. thanx for the suggestion though.

try to really dig in your heelside edge when you land

You need to have a more veritcal axis, you are taking off leaning too far back, or not attaining a vert axis before the spin

why isn't there a maximum size for posting pictures. when people post pictures that are like 4000 x 4000 i go insane trying to scroll Confused

i dont get why everyone thinks he's gona fall onto his back. tell me if im wrong but it looks like he's leaning too far over his toes, doesnt it? when you slip out, which way do you slip out?
oh and that board looks pretty incredibly flat, i cant even see any significant channels. i think you need some fins on there imo. your fins on your previous board were probably too big. my 03 motive came stock with like some 1.7 inch fins and those were way to catchy for me, so i threw some 1.1 a-wings on and they release really easy for surface tricks and stuff but seem to keep me from slipping out on 360's and stuff.

I am falling on my back. i don't get it. This is a cheap board that came with 2 different size, big fins. but i did just invest in some LF teams and what a difference front thee crap spins. lovin em. just for the sake of it i am gonna throw one back on and se if that helps. if it does i will get some 1.1's. today i was holding off a little longer on initiating the spin and felt more on axis. im gonna stick it , i feel it
