That's not a lot of help.

Progressive edge all the way up and off the wake before you initiate the backroll.

keep edging up the wake as if you are going to ride up and around a tube or loop. It is not a trick you have to "huck."
this is my simplest and quickest way of telling how it is

How do you keep the handle once around??? Everytime it gets away from me...

Trew, I am almost caught up at work so we need to go out one morning soon. Ask your dad what mornings would be good for you guys and we will try and hit it up one of those days. Maybe we can start working on that backroll and get it dialed in.

I tend to banana peel out of backrolls now. I'm real close to sticking them, but, if you're underrotating, I can help.

1. Make sure when you pop off the wake, you're standing tall, or else you lose everything you had for the spin.
2. Make sure to look over your front shoulder behind you, so that you can spot the landing, and keep your eyes open.
3. Lean back some, and pull the handle towards your back hip when you release off of the wake. If you loaded the line right, that will initiate the spin, and it will take you around on it's own.
4. Like they said, keep the handle in tight, or else you'll either underrotate or pop the handle when you hit the water.

"Pull the handle towards your back hip"

R U sure?

That's what I was told. It's not so much as pulling in the same sense as for a spin.

Basing it on these instructions got me real close.

Keep the handle to your front hip. When you keep it in tight, this will keep the tension on the line and the boat will pretty much do all the work of getting you around. If you move the handle to your back hip you will do a roll to revert.

so i am having problems with this trick too... i land it very inconsistantly and i think its because im not spotting my landing. Question is how do i spot it. I get so disoriented during the rotation that i dont even know where the water is

Try this. There is a lot of incorrect advise on this thread.
