Backroll help (I have a video)

By the end of last season I was sticking about half of my backroll attempts, but now every time I try one I end up leaning too far back on the landing and slipping out. Can anybody help?

Here's the video:

I think part of your problem is the handle location during the spin. When you land the handle is out in front of you and you end up off balance. Try to keep the handle in at your hips during the rotation.

i used to do that, espically when i landed on the downside of the wake, try to jump, and then spin, that will make you spin a lot slower, and you may find yourslef not spinning enought, adjust from there

its wierd, you really have to jump, let your entire board realase off the wake, then spin, i used to think that i wouldnt have enought momentum to finish the spin, but if you keep your edge it will pop you enough to get enoguth time in the air to spin
thanks,
