All of a sudden this summer i can almost do tantrums. But i still cant land them because i am slightly leaning on my toeside edge, and another big problem is the rope gets jerked right out of my hand so its hard to hold on. but besides those problems i have landed it cleanly without the handle a few times. The handle just got jerked out of my hands but i landed it good. what the f*** should i do.

if u have any extra section of rope left try takin those and using them to tie ur hand to the rope or just duct tape them to the handle so that u cant let go. That should work. j/k umm just dont let go i guess

If your rope has no strech it will be a bit harder to hold onto because its got no give or anything, but maybe not but like butta seeka said dont let go hang on tighter.

It sounds like you don't have enough height to stick the landing upright and ride away cleanly. If you are landing on your toes then try throwing your knees up into your chest as if you were goin for a grab. It makes the rotation much faster and you have tons of time to spot the water.
