You want to almost try and overrotate this trick, pretend it's like a flip and a half. You want to be landing over your toes. The video played a little choppy for me.. but from what I can see, you want to cut a little harder and get off your edge a bit later. In the first attempt it looked like you flattened off pretty early.

you need more rotation, how i was taught a frontroll was cut out about half as far as you can, then cut in as hard as you possibly can and then like a tantrum flatten off at the very top of the wake, the cut is almost the whole thing, you need enough speed going into the wake to get enough rotation to land on your toes and ride away
