i am going to try an ollie backside 180 any tips? should i land wrapped and then pass the handle as soon as i land? <BR> <BR>thanks

think about switching from your heelside edge to your toeside edge. youre probably not going to have time to pass the handle during the trick, so youll land wrap BUT try to get rid of the handle(pass it) asap or you'll get pulled over and its gonna hurt cuz youre gonna smack the back of your head. trust me

I learned that trick last year and it wasn't to bad. How i was taught is to cut outside the wake on your heel side edge, cut hard about the same time you let of your edging initiate the ollie and spin. Make sure to look out at the shore and not the boat or you will get pull backwards. I noticed that i was landing about the same time the handle hit my front hand. If you are having problems with the pass land it wrapped and then move it to the front hand soon after.

cut out on your heels a couple feet. <BR>flaten off. <BR>pop <BR>spin and pull the handle to your back hand <BR>land over your toes and wrapped. <BR>pass the handle <BR>your done

I think it is better learning this trick to edge out on the toeside edge you will be landing on, then drop your back hand, reach around your back and grab the handle so you are in the "cuffed" posistion, then edge out away from the boat and let it pull you back, and edge out some more, untill you are comfortable w/ that, then do the bs 180 and land like that, but complete the handle pass. try it out it help me and others.
