Scared to lean into it. I used to have that problem and would do the same thing. Lean into the roll, don't just steer into it.

 

[norcal ex]

that does look pretty cool, but to do a roll just lean and try to put your pole on the hood when upside down

 

[butti]

dude!!!.....you did a flat 360! looks pretty cool imo

 

[ski4]

hell yeah bro that looked killer
i love that

 

[Ross_C]

That looked very cool....don't loose that once you learn to roll.

But tuck your shoulder and look where you want to go

I know it's not what you wanted to do, but dude, that was a pretty sweet move :hail:

Keep that one in your bag of tricks for sure :cheer:

looks like youve been doing stabs for too long.

Thanks for the tips, I kinda thought it was a bit of lack of commitment with the rolls, I find it hard to really throw my head into it. The 360 landings are a bit tough on the knees and ankles, so I'm not sure I'll be doing them deliberately once I get rolls sorted.

Heres where my BF attempts are at the moment :biggrin:

Yeah, that does look pretty cool! It looks like you meant to do that anyway. I'm no expert, as I rarely ride out of a roll, but I found that you need to let the ski go up, and your body go down, which starts starts everything off.

When I first attempted it, I was on smaller waves, and therefore learnt to put more finesse into it. It translates well to bigger waves too.

LMFAO, dude, you can walk on water and make your ski fly, that **** is funny as hell:haha:

Shhhhh, the east coasters will string you up if they hear you complaining about our surf.

 

[BlowStuffUp]

well yeah, its given that we are better than the eastcoasters in more subjects than one :bigeyes: but the aussie surf is in a league of its own.

That looked awesome, definately not a barrel roll but cool. Lean forward, the way you want roll, and spot your landing.

 

[yamaslut]

I can do that trick.... I actually did one a few weeks ago on accident... I can't do them when I want though... it's similar to a roll in the way you initiate it, but you don't lean forward, you kinda lean back about halfway into the roll brining the nose up and ass end around... very weird feeling motion and always ends w/ a flat landing

 

[Marshj]

Thats a nasty looking trick. marsh likes dude

Wow, that does look cool though! Nice waves. You should see the crap we get here on Lake Erie. You guys are talking east coast, west coast. You should see the great lakes :banghead: but hey, at least we have waves! :arms:
Keep doing it man, you are an inspiration to the rest of us SXR new guys.
