Also is a scarecrow easier than front roll ....and wut kinda edge do u use for that.......THANX

Edge into the wake and ride it all the way up, and at the tip of the wake square up your board so you get the trip flip. I think scarecrow is easier if you can do ts 180's.. landing is much easier than a ts front, its same as ts front, just a more natural feeling rotation.

got any videos? that would help a lot

For the trip flip cut out wide and come in with a agressive progressive edge. let of you edge and stand tall at the top of the wake and the wake flips you. I would learn a frontroll first.I learned a scarecrow first and it messed me up with my fronts and nowi cant do good scarecrows.For the tantrum and the frontroll you`re probably throwing them both early.Which i always do on my tantrums but still somehow mange to land them.

A trip flip edge is switching to tthe opposite edge at the end.

for ex.
Tantrum
Progressive edge in to the wake
at the bottom of the wake, drop your back hand, square shoulders
with your knees bent, switch to your toe edge
this is donewhile riding up the wake you WILL feel a pop

I practiced this on the ground a few times to get the hang of it...
good luck
OH for the front roll, it's the opposite......you switch to your HEEL edge this one is a little trickier, but once you get the hang of it you will get LOADs of pop........
