need vids or a more descriptive question. you basically want to throw a front roll, but drop your back shoulder off the wake, and progressively load the tension with your back hand as you rotate. The more tension you keep on the line, the faster you will rotate through the flip and the 180. Don't yank with your back hand right off the wake, which is what I used to do, because it will pull you around before you finish flipping and you'll land on your face.

Do you let go with the front hand when you start the revert rotation? And if so, when?

What side are you falling out on? If it's over the back you are tucking too hard. If it's over the front you are not tucking enough, or getting enough height.

On a scarecrow you want to drop your front shoulder (the shoulder closest to the boat and the wake). I have always let go with my front hand when I do it.

i throw them different from wakebrad. i drop my back shoulder and throw my front shoulder back, pushing my chest towards the boat. i could never get comfortable with throwing it as a front roll, then a fs 180. this is a lot more smoother for me and easier to get consistent.
