    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...

    1. Try to load the tail of the board on this move so you can get used to leaving the wake with a tight line. This will help you progress toward batwings and off-axis spins. Do this by keeping the approach short and the edge strong...

    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...

    TS/FS 360
    1. It really helps to think of this move in two parts. So don't think 360 when you approach the wake -- think grab 180. If it's a good one, pull the rest of the spin on the way down. 2. The key to landing this spin is not allowing your head to come around to the boat on the landing...

    TS/FS Off Axis 360
    1. The key to having great control as an off-axis spinner is spending a lot of time on the trampoline and learning the off-axis 180s. Learn this move first on the tramp and then take it to the water...

    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...

  • TS/FS 540
    TS/FS 540
    1. The elements of this move are a TS/FS 180, a TS/FS 360 and a switch HS/BS 360. Learn these on the surface, inside out and even one-wake to help you put together the 540. 2. This is usually the first 540 that riders learn...

    TS/FS Off-Axis 540
    1. Combine a trip-flip edge change with a progressive edge to get the pop you need for this move. Combining the two will help you manipulate the board so you can go up and over the handle before you spin...

    TS/FS 720
    1. This on-axis spin has faded away since the off-axis version came into play. It's very fast-paced, making it difficult to get the right axis every time. Use a slow drifting edge and a lot of legs...

    TS/FS Off-Axis 720
    1. Knowing how to do a scarecrow mobius will help for this move. The landings are very similar. Make sure you are really good at your switch toeside blind landings before attempting the 720...

    1.This slide reminds me of a hard stop on your toes going down the mountain on a snowboard. Try dragging your free hand in the water to help control the slide. 2. This is a slide that will help you for toeside approaches to rails while attempting front board slides...

    1. To learn the position you need to hold while edging in and jumping through the air, try backward-facing side slides with two hands, in the middle of the wakes at slow speeds. If you can't do the slide, then you will have problems holding the toeside twisted position and the rope will unwrap you in the air...

    TS Roll to Revert
    1. This is one of the easiest inverts with a 180. You can land this trick before you actually land the base part of the trick: the toeside back roll. Edge in smooth, stand tall through the wake and flip back...

    1. When adding a grab to a toeside back roll, keep in mind that when you grab the board, your rotation will quicken. Concentrate on just going up without the flip off the wake. 2. When grabbing nuclear, it helps to twist your hips backside and pull your front knee up toward your chest while leaving your back leg fairly straight...
