landing cuffed is the easiest to me land bent over with the handle behind your back and both hands on it. if your feet are flying off you might want to keep them at an angle.

hold the rope with both hands and keep the handle at your hips

you might need to start stomping it at 90 degrees

if your doing it off the wake go off and pull the handle back to your back hip. and keep both hands. you might want to take one off when you land. if your out in the flatsi like yo let go of my front hand and ollie high and spin fast then stomp down

I do them TS FS and they are easy I swould guess that it would be near the same ollieing. As others have said, dont lean back too much and dont gett off axis
