    1. Grabbing the tail of the board helps you get into an ideal backside spinning position. Try to think about doing a tail grab backside air first to set your axis. 2. Make sure you are strong at all three handle-pass options...

    Late melan grab TS/BS 180
    1. The key to the toeside backside 180 is not letting the board pitch over off the wake. Keep the nose pointed up, then spin. If you let the nose dip over and point down after you leave the wake, you will be pulled over on the landing...

    Indy HS/BS 360
    1. Once you have indy backside airs down, this move will seem fairly easy. Commit to the backside 180 and then just move your hips one more time on the landing by moving the handle across your body and away from the wake...

    TS/BS 360
    1. This is the most underrated 360 of the four. Once you learn the first backside 180, for the second half of the move just move the handle hard across your body and pass it as soon as possible...

    HS/BS OA 360
    1. The root of this move for most people is an indy glide. When you're in the indy glide position after takeoff, turn the handle down and keep advancing yourself on the rope. By turning the handle down you will force the spin and pass...

    TS/BS Off-Axis 360
    1. Try rolling this move together more after the first pull instead of doing it in two parts. Continue the pull through the 180 so you will move to 360. If you pull and then try to pull again you may get hung up at the end of the move...

    HS/BS 540
    1. Advance smoothly off the wake for the first 360 so the rope is not too loose when you're ready to continue to 5. You need a tight line so you can pull again to land blind and finish the 540...

    HS/BS 720
    1. I've seen this move done two ways. Most people who land it consistently usually make the first handle pass under their butt and the second up high. I think dividing the move into two parts helps work the handle for this high-energy spin...

    1. Instead of using all the strength in one arm to pull and pass, try to bend over and use your body to bring the handle to you. 2. Try riding in the middle of the wake with the board still facing forward but your upper body facing backward, with both hands behind your back in the cuffed position...

    One-wake BS 180
    1.This trick is all about height, not distance. Let the boat do the edging; you worry about the pop and good form during the spin. When the line isn't tight from edging, you can pull and spin more easily...

    1. After you ollie, move the handle behind your back and push your back foot far around toward the boat to get the board in the backside air position. 2. Sometimes it helps to try this off a roller from another boat before you take it to the wake...
