considering that I cant land either with good form or height, I would say scarecrow...Although it is important to learn a solid frontroll first. I landed my scarecrow first with really bad technique. It wasnt until I started doing frontrolls that my technique got better and I did the trick with more air.

It depends on your toeside landings. Just like most like to do a ts 180 so they can land on their heelside edge with more balance instead of a regular w2w toeside jump. If this is your case, then scarecrow is easier. The land can be easier to ride away on a crow where as a frontroll takes alittle more control and balance. Also crows tend to rotate alittle easier. This is just personal opinion and from what I have taught and seemed to work.

There are a few tips on this thread and there are a few other threads on crows. Let us know if you have any other questions if something doesn't make sense.
