you have to keep the handle close to your front hip.

keep the handle close to the hip
stand tall!!!!!! most beginners bend at the waist or knees. you must stand tall.

When I was first learning them, I found that letting go with your rear hand (right - regular, left - goofy)at the peek/height of your jump, helps with not spinning.
Also pull the handle into your leading hip (left - regular, right - goofy)

But after a while, embrace the natural spin that happens when jumping ts. I actually found w2w, ts, fs 180's easier then regular ts w2w jumps.

anyone have ideas that can help me hold on to the handle. When I was first learning w2w HS I was afraid so someone told me to let go of the rope if I get scared. I did and now, months later, I am clearing the wake everytime but can't get out of the habit of letting go of the handle. Can anhyone help?

just dont let go. i know this may seem hard but i had the same problem. just dotn let it go. now that i dont do that anymore, its easy. i once fell and rode on my back for about five seconds but i came out of it just fine. just dont think about it, and im sure it will turn out just fine
