Any tips for a ole 360?

I'm going out on the water tomorrow and I'm going to try something new. The ole 360 is a pretty stylish move that doesn't look toooo hard.

Any tips before I go out? I can't really find much about them anywhere

for an ole bs 3- try to take a mellow cut to minimize line tension...as you pop, pull the rope as hard as you can to your front hip, then put the handle over your head and itll come around. The hardest part is getting it over your head with minimal line tension (if you get it over with a tight rope, youll get pulled out the front), so really pull hard, but make sure to keep your body position strong/upright.

for a fs ole 3-I do a variation called the weedwhacker. cut into the wake the same as the ole bs 3, and pull the rope as hard as you can to your back hip (this will make you do the first 180), after you have done the first 180 and have the rope at your hip, pull the handle over your head with your back hand. after you get the 360 around, pass the rope back to your front hand and land. Or you can pass the handle back to your front hand right behind your neck mid-spin.

good luck...both are pretty tough tricks physically, but if you can stay on axis while pulling hard enough to get the rope over your head, you can land it for sure.

Why would you do an ole that wasn't OA? Seems like that would just look goofy.
