I have gotten my heelside w2w down finally and now have to get toeside down. Should i start trying some grabs? Or a 180?

do a grab first. then do 'em both at the same time.

I find wake to wake toeside 180s easier to do than a regular toeside w2w.

while on the topic of jumping w2w, when do you increase speed and or distance? which is 1st?

what do you mean, when, like in the cut? or how long does it take to do? i believe that distance is a result of speed, so speed comes first in that sense. also, i took a lesson today, i went from not being able to 1 wake toeside really, to doing it wake to wake toesides. lessons are worth it, i would learn grabs first, because they you dont have to worry about landing switch.

sorry i didn't add enough info. i meant when do you increase the boat speed and or rope length.

grab after you have the move down perfect...

learn toe side w2w asap! than think about the grab

boat speed and line length our you're call after you get comfortable with the line length you our currently riding at.

If you are going in to the flats on all your stuff both front and heel than you are ready to go longer and faster.i'm not saying you are doing this but, don't make the mistake of increaseing things because you heard or read your favorite rider rides at 97 and half feet @ 31 miles per hour.
