first time 360

I could use a little help in determining the best way to perform a 360. I just don't seem to be able to handle pass. I bought a new wakeboard and wakeskate this summer have transitioned from wakeboarding into using a wakeskate. I am trying to practice this winter on making a handle pass and wanted to know if anyone had some advice?

I am able to land with ease most of the time. I have watched a couple videos and noticed that most riders handle pass below their waist. I also noticed that they usually have more slack then I am able to get in the line. I would like to be able to get this move down before continuing on to try it on a wakeskate.

pass the handle at the small of your back. if you need practice, walk around when your board with a tennis ball and passs it around and around. Or get on the tramp and practice.

bdub, like alex said get on the trampolien and try it..... tie a rope to a tree and but your handle on that then when "trampoboarding" work on your handle pass there.... it'll help heaps

I admit that I haven't been comfortable handle passing on that side of the wake. I can do a surface handle pass on the other side though. I have heard of practicing on a tree, thanks for the replies. I have also been looking through some reviews. does anyone have any good reviews they could post on the type of wakeboard, bindings etc., they recommend? I am looking at getting something new next summer.

you should make one of those cool benches out of the wakeboard and put it out on the dock, for birds to rest, on their long flight south for the winter.

magicace, crispy, Anchors Away, Shut the chickity china the chinese chicken up will you, quit bashing the strapper.

I too have had troubles with 3's. Are you trying it frontside or backside? Another way to get it is taking off wrapped, then letting the rope spin you, spot your landing, ride away. Cool
