|
|
Anybody have some tips on the bs180 ? I have been trying these lately..
These are 3 attempts before the camera died. Had some closer attempts later on in my session.
I think i need to rotate later and maybe spin a little bit less ?
For some reason i drop the handle as soon as i hit the water...

You're dropping the handle becuase you didn't make the pass before you landed and you didn't want to take a spill - natural reaction no biggy. Can you land these one wake? Some things that I think help on the bs180 is making sure you're watching the horizon as you're rotating, IE as you're spinning look behind you and be focusing on the line between the ground and the sky.
Other than that if you regularly aren't getting the handle you need to drill handle passes more. Lots of drills for that. Tie a milk jug (filled with water) to your handle and spin it around you while doing passes. Tramp practice (if you don't have a tramp, tie a line to a tree and just jump on the grass). Trick with tramp practice is to not make yourself spin with your feet on take-off but to make the handle pass spin you. IIRC you should be able to land looking backwards.
Edit: This helped me immensely when learning them:

IMO just hold on. Land that thing blind and commit to holding on with your front hand. Like Wakeboarder3780 said you also should be able to do 1 wake and inside out backside 180s all day. I would say learn how to land it blind, but you can also just pass the handle too, either way. I personally think it is more beneficial to learn how to land it blind because if you can do it landing blind, you can definitely pass the handle at any point if you choose to do so. But if you just held on, you would land it blind perfectly.
