Well...

TS - Sounds like you may be breaking too much at the waist, bending over too far. I still do it every now and then. Try coming in on your TS cut with very-bent knees, squat and compact, centered over the board with the handle right in on your lead hip/ass, at the wake try coming more straight-up rather than out and across, like you're just jumping on a trampoline.

HS - Not sure, maybe try the same kind of approach and try going more straight-up, again like you're on a trampoline

Oh yeah....and EDGE THROUGH THE WAKE.

I had that problem.... my fix? One of my riding buddies just looked at me and said "DON'T LOOK DOWN." So I just started looking to the shore and my jumps imroved 200%. And like REM mentioned, edge through the wake. Hope that helps!

your only suppose to look down to spot the landing for a brief second, i think i look down alot, i look at the wake when im approaching, and then once i leave the air i spot the landing then either look at the handle, or the boat or something like that, or out in front of me on the water.
