Help ! I cannot complete the rotations on my KGB's any more and keep landing blind... Is it because the board is not going back far enough and not inverted enough? ... any1 else have this problem....

I remember going through a phase where I couldn't land blind and always did the full rotation and now I m stuck landing blind and can't do the full rotation.

had the same problem, never found the answer and gave up.... but someone told me to have your chest out and head up as you go threw the pass. apparntly it helped keep the rotation going. also have your head looking over your shoulder while coming around for the landing.
might help??? good luck

i vaguely remember it had something to do with how inverted I got.... more inverted when I passed = lines slack on exit = flop down and complete spin

Don't throw your backroll as fast. Do a very very very slow backroll.

Pass earlier and get more inverted.

Just to clarify I think what andy means is don't spin so fast in a horizontal plane, instead focus on spinning in a vertical plane so it seems like you spinning slower. If you get too much momentum spinning horizontally I find it hard to stop and you end up passing later.

Oh yeah and try em on both tacks. I could only really land em toeside occasionally on one tack, went the other way (even though I'm crap on my other tack) and I found it worked better.

Just pull you arm in after you pass.haha. the more powered you do it the harder its gonna be to do that extra 180 and land heelside, the less inverted you do it off pop the sicker it will look when you stick it but the harder it becomes.

The less inverted I do what.. the pass? I think doing the pass inverted looks much better than horizontal, although makes sense it would be harder to do..... still had no luck today.... maybe tomorrow, or maybe I will give up and try an l-kgb instead :)
