Well, tell us how you crash first.. Butt-check or Face Plant? Give us an indication what's going wrong...

And by the way, I reckon a lot of us are jaleous, you trying backrolls after two months!

Big it up!

Took me two summers :? but got it steady now. Im afraid I can not help you out though, seems a bit random to me. Just keep on trying and perhaps try and keep the handle close to you so you wont be dragged off balance once you land...

Keep it up!

Try this. Only cut about 10 or 15 feet from the wake..(This isn't a full speed trick) You want to get more pop than distance. If you can consistantly land on the downside of the wake it will make the landing much easier. Also make sure the board your riding is big enough for you. The bigger a board you ride the more stable your ride is.....Hope this helps
