Went out and tried both of these inverts today, got really close to landing the scarecrow and kinda close to landing the frontroll. On the crow it seems when i land i'm leaning too far forwards, but I'm holding on with both hands, could that be the problem?

And for the frontroll i'm not rotating quick enough or i'm not getting enough height, its either one or a combination of both. Height I cant do much about but can anyone give me any tips on rotating faster? Thanks for any and all help.

if you are coming up short you are leaving the wake to early... in other words, initiating your rotating closer to the bottom of the wake instead of the top. you really gotta wait and pop off the very top and keep the handle in close. on the front roll hold on with both hands half way through the trick let go with your back hand.

Go for the grab on the ts front roll it will make you rotate faster, look between your legs to spot the landing.....

tried a couple more crows today, landed one but had a reall sketched out landing but came out riding. I tried a couple more after landing that one and tried letting go of my right hand (i'm goofy footed) and I'd land it cleaner but just couldnt hold on. Guess I'll go for some more tomarrow and try the frontroll too.

Dont want to start another thread so see if I can get some help here, I keep tryin the 540 off the double up and can get the rotation easily but i'm usually leaning too far back and slide out. I can throw huge 180s off it and land it pretty consistently so i dont think its landing switch. Any tips?
