Heelside frontrolls

[Frye]

hey thinking about trying one have never tried one before anyone got any tips

[kristian]

Not to sound mean. But there is no such thing as a heelside frontroll. There's the Mexican roll, which is a variation off the backroll, which most people call a heelside frontroll, but don't fall into that habit.
and theres the heelside frontflip, looks like a cartwheel. Which one are you asking about?

[Frye]

yea sorry i meant flip. o well. that doesnt really matter does anyone have any tips for a heelside frontflip. maybe kristian since you know so much?

[kristian]

Sorry, didn't mean to sound cocky ops:
Heelside frontflip, some into the wake with wth a nice progessive edge (not too fast), 70% of your weight on your back foot, as you pop off the wake, its just a matter of, sticking your ear to your lead shoulder (so if you're goofy, right ear, right shoulder). That starts the rotation, keep your handle in and tight and you should do a big cartwheel.

[Frye]

so like just the exact oppistie of a back roll? (or flip i dont know what to call it) shouldnt i pop later? since it has weird rotation

[kristian]

you got it, exact opposite of a backroll. Yeah, you wait longer, to get more pop.
