My parents have my twin boys this weekend (party time!) and I'm committed to using the time to finally land a backside 180. I can do an ollie backside 180 (out in the flats - no wake) and an inside-out backside 180, but have never ridden away wake to wake. I've watched a bunch of instructional videos, but I still have one lingering question - when I land, should I be looking at the shoreline on the side of the boat that I landed, or backward, kinda down the wake that I landed on? On the few wake to wake attempts that I've tried, I always fall back, slipping out over my heels and falling on my backside. If it matters, all of my ollie and inside out 180s are done with no handle pass, and my few wake to wake attempts have been as well. I think if I knew for certain exactly where to look when landing it would give me more confidence and help me focus on riding away on my toes.
