Momentum is stored and reversed when you jump onto the owl so try to land at the spot in the video and jump directly up at him with no directional input. Turn in the tree before jumping out by holding right for a little bit.

Alternatively, there's a strat (Madowl) involving speed conservation when jumping into the owl. Although it's generally not recommended, it saves about 2s over the traditional owl strat. See the video linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CIFQ3EEu_8
Select the 1st star to not spawn the owl and avoid lag from the tower.

* Beginner: No camera change, hold up-left for fence clip. Hold slightly up after landing on the spinning platform to do a slow turn.
* Advanced: When implementing the quick turn on the island, it's highly recommended that you perform the camera changes (2 C-Rights and 1 C-Up) before rolling out on the island. This will give you more time to prepare for the quick turn and allow you to hold A before you land so you can begin the triple jump with a buffered kick.
