and ive been doing them heel side if that helps.
any help would be appreciated.

and if its been asked. i dont care. im to god damn lazy to search through 50+ threads to find the answer.

it helps to carve in a little but not too much, gently carve in and pop off the wake. Sounds a little odd but it works for me

If your not spinning backside i recommend that, its alot harder to commit because right off the bat your turning your back to the direction your going, but it pays off on the landing cause it makes it so much easier to spot and whip your legs around. That and it just looks steezier

sounds like 2 things,

1. pop harder to get more air to finish the rotation

2. actually spin! don't just use the tension on the rope to pull yourself around like most people do when they're first learning!

spin it backside man, so much easier for spotting the land.
but practice some backside 180, with passing the handle and jizz, n once ur comfortable, step it up to a 3, backside again, and practice practice practice

haha im such a wuss. i can barely pop a 180. haha out of all the sports i do, wakeboarding is by far the scariest. no doubt. and especially now since i screwed up my knee all i can do is imagine an infinite number of ways to tear your acl.....yikes. i need to get over that.
but unfortunately, i cant wakeboard this summer. at all. or so says my doc. and im listening to him haha. but i did get my boating license..so i can at least drive for people...
when you guys pop off the wake, do you do a little pop and just let the momentum you have carry you? or do you pop a lot?

if you cant get the hs fs 360 try doing hs bs 180s first to get used to the handle pass the go for a hs bs 360

hs= heelside bs = backside
