Wrapped 540

Description

Wrapped 540 is a spin off the kicker. What counts is the timing of the pop and the handle pass: the cable pulls you, so the spin starts with the shoulders at the top of the jump, not at take-off. A 540 with the handle already passed behind the back.

How it's done

1. 01

   Progressive approach, building edge all the way to the kicker.

2. 02

   Pop straight up and only then, at the top, start the rotation with your head and shoulders.

3. 03

   Pass the handle behind your back, keeping it low and close.

4. 04

   Find the cable with your eyes as you finish the rotation.

5. 05

   Land with the board slightly on edge, in the direction of the cable.

Common mistakes

• Starting the rotation off the ramp: the jump gets lower.
• Handle pass too high.
• Landing flat against the cable: it yanks you.
