It is almost impossible to tell in that video. Looks like he has a decent cut, maybe "he" is not keeping his arms in which would slow down the rotation and cause him to fall like that. Also, try shortening the line until you get it nailed a couple times. Looks like he is casing the wake. Again, hard to tell with that video, try zoom.

to me it looks like you are throwing the trick with your body too much and not letting the board do the work. It looks like you are taking off the wake and throwing the trick with your body. Your edging should be what throws the trick. when done properly the backroll should be very effortless, you should not have to fight the rotation. to accomplish this u need to approach the wake with a progressive edge and when u are riding up the wake, edge hard away from the boat looking up and over your lead shoulder. edging away from the wake is exactly what is used when doin air tricks excpet this time you have the wake to help boost you up as well. this proper edge will initiate the rotaion for you and carry you through the trick. Good luck hope this helps
