I'v been trying to nail a hs backroll this whole season. It is not happening. I usually slip out backwards its weird because I land in a squat positioin( not trying to) what the #*@%& am I doing wrong. I am having trouble spotting my landings (everything moving so fast amd all). My buddie has already landed it so he is rubbing it in real good.

Brad,
Try waiting a little longer so that you get the most pop off of the wake as possible. This will allow you to rotate a little slower, thus, allowing you more time to feel and see what is happening. Try to take it big and slow and smooth. Good luck!

Take less speed into the wake and focus on going up. You will rotate slower so you can stick the board.

Chase and Tim thanks for the advice this really helped I landed my first roll yesterday. I have been getting very close eversince I did like yall said and waited for the pop. I really started to see what was happening. I started to concentrate on not letting the rope go and boom I made it.
