Try to yank a little harder with both hands before you let go and throw the handle backside. It looks like you're not quite getting it around because you're trying to pull yourself in and throw the spin with one arm.

Just give an extra yank to get your feet under you with both hands before letting go. Other than that it looks sick!

No problem. What park do you ride at over there?

You need to relax a little bit on the way down. Now, I know nothing of cable but do understand the movements of a trick like this (similar to turning blind on the way down for, say, a crow mobe or tantrum to blind, and I've tried a few blind judges as well). You're arm you're turning to blind with is wayyy extended and is causing your body to be completely f'ed up while trying to turn. I would recommend that while you're on the way down and before turning blind, yank the handle with both hands to your lead hip while turning your head/shoulders to start the last 180. When you are near your hip, let go with your (now) rear hand and keep the handle to the small of your back. In the vid you're letting go right as you finish the full s-bend, but keep both hands on it until you reach your hip instead of hucking it around with one hand.

Try to hang on to it with both hands a little longer and that should tighten it up a bit. Looks like a solid start though!

Nice! Yeah definitely hang on a little bit longer and try to pull it with both hands more to your hip some more.. You're letting go and whipping it around to blind...try to make it one smooth motion (now that you know you have the rotation) by doing this.
