whats happening when u land? do u fall back

Most common mistakes are leaning forward or back. looking down, to prevent this once you have done ur 180 look down ur arm towards the boat/cable hope this helps

right as you lift off the wake let go with your front hand and pull with the back and bend your knees to absorb the landing

With a 180, take it toeside, the heelside landing will make it easier to ride away from. Make sure you get a nice pop, then at the top of your air, drop your front hand and pull the handle across your waist. On landing bend your knees and look in the direction you're going.
