you want to do the 180 in the scarecrow, thats what makes it a scarecrow...

What he said & also for the frontroll let go with your back hand at the last second

yeah- on the TS front roll, let go with your back hand and pull the handle to your lead hip/butt cheek. That motion will set you up for a good edge on your landing.

got a video? im confused with the fact that doing a 180 is a problem?

or are you doing like a butterslide faceplant thing?

on the ts frontroll think about landing real low on your toeside edge and even hand-checking the water with your rear hand, that should prevent you from opening up.

Jim M, i use to try what you said, like trying to land tight on the ts edge then i overrotated on one and finally figured it out

overrotated fronts are awesome!

J_DOGG, haha- part time job

Even riders like Necrason and Murray come down real low on their elephants, r2r's, and they take those damn things 15 ft into the flats. That kind of says something.
