its alll about the hand swich>> right before i try it i hold the handle in my left hand with my right hand out the back and i practice a fast switch.
As im 3/4 the way around and spotting my landing i throw my back sholder and hand to the rope and this helps me bring my whole body around and into the 180.
Over rotating and landing on your toes and riding away....is way better than underotating and blowing out your knee's.. good luck
Is it best to initiate the spin by pulling the handle to my back hip? Or should I leave the handle out front and throw my back shoulder toward it like you said?
switch handle to back hand, then pull the handle to back hip. make sure to bend your knees on the landing as well, when i was learning this trick i would seem to bounce on the landings b/c the rotation is super late usually
