new to the forum, whats up all

heres my issue, i can land tantrums pretty consistent, but i have trouble with getting the perfect balance of big air and rotation. it seems like one of two things happen for me:

1- i go pretty big but end up rotating too slow and either bail, or a real sketchy landing.

2- i rotate nice and fast but dont get a real good pop off the wake, and end up more like this gif i made...


(this one is actually one of my better balanced ones)

I have tried grabbing it indy in order to be more tucked on the roll, but that usually just throws me off.


any help is appreciated, i cant wait to land that perfect one with huge air and good rotation

wait till you get your pop to start your rotation

Jay, the rotation looks good but if you're looking to go a little bigger, I would suggest trying to put even pressure on both feet as your edge into & up the wake. From looking at the video, it seems you're back foot heavy which will cause you to twist a little off the wake.

Also, wait just a hair longer at the top of the wake. It also looks like you're taking the tantrum a little early.

Hope this helps.

Good luck
