That's more of a inverted nose stab than a barrel roll. I was told the same thing "kiss the gas cap" but that turns into what you did. Another guy told be to "check for seaweed" but that becomes to nose high. Somewhere in between should be the perfect roll. Also I feel like there are so many different variations of a roll. And to be honest I think the kind you did looks the best

I'm no expert, and I can only surf roll but id recommend squating lower, and just crank the bars and throttle, lean to the side you are rolling. It looks like you are throwing your weight like a nose stab to the opposite side.

here is an older non hd video, lots or roll

also Tanner Moon, has a great camera mount to show off rolls and some great form

it looks like you are used to doing those rainbow arching surf nose stabs and just had the ass end come around on you. on the big screen and slow motion, it doesnt look like you even crank the bars all the way. your head is up, instead of looking down under the boat. never jump straight again, do 1000 of them and you'll be good at it.

im having relatively the same problems with my rolls although mine are flatwater, I feel like I've done so many stabs that it screwed me up but I guess I could try some different techniques too.

I just throw my head to the left and keep it low and crank the bars. To stab I look down and behind my shoulder. That is the biggest difference for me
