So, I was able to do HS FS 360's fine last year and they were consistent. However, this year I just can't seem to get it at all. I can do a surface 360 no problem, but when I try it off the wake, I feel like I'm getting thrown off-axis or something and I can't get the handle pass. I know I'm supposed to "Pop THEN pull" for the handle pass and rotation, but I am still going off-axis.

I didn't have a camera with me on my attempts, but does anyone have some tips?

I did land a few BS 180s, could that be messing up my FS 360 somehow? lol

Thanks!

no dont worry, i have landed hs bs 180s in the same set as a hs fs 360, you might be spinning on the wake and not even knowing it, tell me do you get good height and land down the other wake, when you attempt them?

Yeah, I am definitely getting the height and I land down the other wake (I ride at 65-70ft). I have a feeling I'm just thinking about NOT starting the spin on the wake too much and I end up doing it anyway.

start your spin coming off the wake. Get a 10ft handle and a gallon of water and practice spinning the jug around you to get the muscle memory and make sure its close to your body as possible.

No offense but I 100% disagree, as will most others. You get air, get your axis steady, then start spinning. Spinning off the wake will get you pulled over and slammed down on your head/back.

Regards,

Dusty
