Looks decent. Pop is good. Only thing that looks like an issue is you're letting the handle get away from you and it's slowing your rotation down a bit. Really focus on getting the handle to your new lead hip and in a bit more and you should nail it.

From what I can see you aren't letting off your edge. You have no height. Scarecrow (and frontroll) are trip flips. You're edging in super hard but not standing tall and letting it trip you. You have to edge in progressively, then let off your edge at the bottom of the trough, stand tall, let it trip your board, then throw it hard.

Notice how I slowed down and stood tall, here the first Scarecrow I ever landed.

Good luck!

V8 Killer is correct, the trick should take you straight up from the pop before you roll. Plus keep right arm pinned, or don't let it out. For me to learn this trick and not take it so big, I had to pop hard, do a nose grab, for it to roll correctly. Learning it one handed made it a lot easier for me to rotate and not end up in a slide from it trying to be a front roll.

Edge in is perfect though, just stand tall at the wake and let off the edge. (trip flip edge)
Also, you may want to try and think about 'throwing the roll away from the boat', this will make you flip instead of rolling on your back like you are now.


edit: Download Cobra's TSO wake app, one of the tricks on there is the scarecrow. Worth the .99 cents.
