landing spins.....help?

[durkinz]

ok i know this shouldnt be too big of a deal but it took me forever to finally learn to pop then spin so now its onto the landing part...for me if i land goofy i fall every time, i can get up that way and stay up that way, but the whole time it just feels too awkward...any ideas to land anything goofy? i cant even w2w goofy....

but for like a 360 i always end up falling on my ass, almost like im pulling the rope to much and there isnt any tension left and when i go to land i pull back or somethin i dunno.... any help would be cool

wut I was doing when I had this problem was doing a w2w 180 first. for a 180, just barely go off the wake(speed wise) and focus on pop, landing right between the wakes. this helped me. For 360, you need to pop, pull, then pass is how I learned and remembered it. also what helped was to wait until the max of your air to START spinning. It sounds late as hell but trust me it sounds like ur going off axis and this will help that. good luck.

durk spend more time riding switch. if you cant ride switch or land switch there is very little hope of landing a HS 180...TS 180s are easier to land cuz you are landing on your heels so you might want to learn this one first. i strongly recommend that you learn to carve and jump w2w switch...especially before you start learning advanced tricks, it will make you a sick rider. once you get the feeling of landing switch your 180s will become rediculously easy. good luck

the better you ride switch, the better of a wakeboarder you will become.
