hey,
i'm getting to be a pretty good rider and i'm tryin to step it up a bit, i've been landing tantrums since last summer but they have been pretty much 1 waker's landing like 3/4 the way to the other wake and doing them pretty low (maybe 4 feet high or so). i need some tips to just to clear that second wake and get some more height so i can add some spins to it. also, whats the best way to do a frontroll. i tried it just one time at the end of my last set and i totally f*cked it up like no other. basically i popped up and threw my head down and eventually landed on my back. thanks for any tips Cool

Try waiting longer before initiating your tantrum. I see a lot of riders throw tantrums early and they end up really low and casing the wake.

i learned tantrums lately, and i also had that problem, try shortening the rope slightly or taking a harder cut... and wait for the pop, dont force it...

A "hs frontroll" is really a Mexican Back Roll. Don't call it a hs frontroll or the terminology nazis will give you hell
