help with my roll

04-29-2003, 6:11 PM

I am getting great rotation and I am landing on the board every time, but I am leaning too far back. So basically I am landing and then skidding on my butt thus making me loose the handle. I have the progressive edge, but could it be that I am not looking up and just over my shoulder...making my spin off axis? }

Sounds like you may need to stand taller when you take off (how you leave the wake is how you land).

Okay...when I approach the wake I extend my legs to get the "pop" and I am leaning back. Thanks for the help.

As you approach the wake try concintrating on putting more weight on your front foot. It sounds like you are a bit back foot heavy. Push through and off the wake with your front foot, put the handle on your lead hip and put your chin on your shoulder, stand tall but don't "lean back"

Good luck
