What is the key to landing this trick. I can land toesdie 5's all day, and i can toeside 3's landing blind. So what i am doing is doing a 5 and then thinking backside 180 on the way down but everytime i land i am falling back on my butt and slipping out.

i can't do 7's yet, but i am guessing you're landing stiff-legged. same problem on my crow mobe lately Sad

brazosfreak05, It's really a matter of weight placement. Sounds like your just a little bit over your heels still when you land. Just make sure you place your weight directly over your board or even more over your toes, which can be pretty hard coming out of a 7. Doing switch backside 180s landing wrapped really helped me with my crow mobes even though I already had TS 360s down. I don't know, it might help you too.

if youre landing on your heels then it generally comes from two problems.....youre either not throwing it hard enough off the wake or youre not waiting on the pop off the wake......its easy to take off early cuz you want to start spinning as soon as possible.....if you can come in with a straight front leg but a good amount of pressure on your front foot it can help this problem.....almost stalll it out a little bit too.....edge in hard and hit the wake get the pop and when you feel yourself in the air is when you really start pullin through for the spins.....also if you can make the third handle pass instead of landing wrapped then it is easier to save yourself from fallin back on your a$$
