How To: Switch front-side 360 on Wakeskate

[wakeboarding]

Today I learned a switch front-side 360 (switch front 3) on my wakeskate. This trick has given me a lot of grief in the past, so I figured I would share how I stuck it. First off I did the trick off a cheese wedge kicker on a cable. Every cable pulls a little different, so on this trick just have moderate line tension when approaching the kicker. As you reach the top of the kicker pull the rope to your hip pretty hard as you begin the rotation. Here is where the tricky part starts. As you begin the rotation pass the handle below your ass, this will cause your toes to point down at the water, allowing for the clean rotation with the board stuck to your feet. After that all that’s left is sighting your landing. You should start sighting your landing as you make the handle pass (keeping the rope in close to your body makes the pass much easier). All that you have to do now is go out and stick this thing.
