wide stance on the take off, and keep it wide in the air, makes it feel more float and like you have more control. and don't throw it just kinda hop and look.

your first time you'll probalby rotate too fast cause your used to smaller tables. but you'll realize aftear your first few tries that you can rotate slower and tweak your grabs more

yea man my adivce to you is just to go for it and make sure you spot your landing.. try to but a grab in there.. but make sure you start to spin first before you grab cuase it will make you spin cuase if you do it the other way you may not make the rotation so just go for it and try your best and you will do fine

i went from 35 to 55 and its not that much of a difference in spin wise.. just throw it a lil slower.. mostly your guess for speed will prolly be right..

Be patient initiating the spin, don't edge off the jump, don't swing your arms, just pop nice and lead with your shoulders and hips.

I didnt have any trouble moving my 3s from 20 fters to 40 fters and then bigger. Just remember that you dont have to wind up at all really, just pop and look over your shoulder. Commit, and dont stop looking over your shoulder. Spot your landing and put on the airbrakes(just try to open your body up as much as possible, it slows your rotation a bit) if you need to. Good luck man, they're really fun to float.

You'd be surprised how incredibly easy it is to move from 20 footers to 40 footers. Just remember you don't need to wind up as much. And if you finish your rotation a little early, it's no big deal. You'll have no problem.

dont wind up at all for a 40 footer... I kinda just look over my shoulder as I takeoff you will be able to tell halfway thru if you set it too hard and you will be able to open up, just stay relaxed, they are wicked easy and feel good
