Do you fall back on your hs edge? Sounds like you might be trying to stop, keep edging and you should keep on going. Or are you just falling completely back or what? A video would help a ton.

So your either over rotating, or your just letting off of your hs edge. If you edge hard and keep going you should land, and ride away, fine. Also, don't let go!

you should really learn the frontroll first because it will help you get your ts trip flip edge down. i was doing the exact same thing when i was learning crows, so i just gave up and landed a frontroll. after that the scarecrow came way esier cause you learn to pop up more and come down flat on the board. your falling back cause your cutting through the wake and not flattening off. also, you dont really need to throw it. just dip your back shoulder towards the boat and push your head down.

Be sure to keep the handle down at your hips. A lot of people pull the handle up by their head when they're learning a crow. This creates more slack in the rope, so on landing you can't land on your HS edge edging away from the boat because there is no tension in the rope, just slack. This will make you fall back on your butt, just like what you are doing. Hope it helps.

Later...
