So this weekend I finally landed my first invert, backroll after about 25 attempts. I guess i'm curious as to what would be the next logical step? Do I go after tantrum or a 3?

3. Learning a variety is the bet way to progress (I think). I am currently working on my first invert, after learning HS and TS 360. Its not going well. : (

the next logical step would be to land the backroll again. it's not yours until you've landed it at least 3 times.

Dude, I'm trying to stick my backrolls, but I come down n top of the 2nd wake, and w/ my weight a little far back over my heelside, (not on the tail) Just wondering if anyone knows how to help my sorry ass. Obviously try to get more speed @ the wake, but as far as being too far back.....

Also try cutting into the wake a little harder and jumping when you through yourself backwards. I always landed my backrolls but i never got very high. I kind of fixed my problem by cutting in a little harder and jumping at same time i through the trick. I have landed a few big rolls off a weak !@# wake. So if you have a decent size wake and you do it right you will land on the downside or the flats at 65'+.

Justin, try keeping the handle closer to your body and on your hip.
