hs frontroll 180- new one
hs frontroll 360- new one too!

I say you get to name both of them! Very Happy

hs frontflip w/ frontside 180- 'front to fakie'
hs frontflip 360 w/ frontside 360- 'slim chance'
(..thats a serious mobe right there, post a vid and you will get a silent applause)
hs frontflip w/ wrapped frontside 360- 'remix'

What about a hs frontflip to blind? I am guessing it would look goofy but I don't think I've seen one, talk about a completely blind landing!

How can you be hs or ts on a tramp? From my experience, if you're leaning when you jump on a tramp, you end up on the ground.

well you see .. you stand as if yuo were goign to do abackflip but you jump up and do like a 90 and thats when you start your roll .. and you complete it to a 360 or 180 and usually land on the opposite end of the tramp its not hard i dont know my body seems to go that way pretty easy

isnt a mexi mobe a KGB? IM confused, I thought the HS Front Flip w/ 180 was a Front to Fakie, and the HS Front Flip w/ 360 was a Slim Chance. Am I wrong?

A KGB is a backroll with a wrapped backside 360. You throw the backroll mexi style (still a backroll, just hucked forward a little like a somersault), then you unwrap once you are inverted.

well everyone agrees that a mexi roll is some backwards roatation correct? well then that not it... because im doing a front roll

no, determination, it's called a mexican backroll even though you are flipping forward. It's ridiculous, I know, but that's what it's called.

No, everyone does not agree that a mexi-roll is a backwards rotation. It's the same rotation as a ts frontroll except your coming in too the wake heelside, dammmnnnnnnn!

When I do a HS Frontflip It seems like I have to go super huge, throwing another 180 in there for a slim chance seems impossible, plus there is huge amount of tension in the rope.

Oh okay, I get it now. Mexi Rolls are fairly new arent they?

Krashr31 · Outlaw Joined: 07 Feb 2003 Posts: 238 City: Florida

Not any newer than a KGB.

No they arnt fairly new at all, Andrea Gayton used to do backrolls like this so they named them Mexican Rolls because she was from Mexico. Alot of the women tend to throw their backrolls like this.

Oh yeah so how do all you bad asses throw all your backrolls.

Must have two techniques and several grabs to respond:-

I'm not being arrogant but i 'm hearing alot of crazy talk in here.

Are You spinning Frontside or Backside? Is it a Front Flip or a Backroll Roll? There really is no such thing as a HS Front Roll (Just a Mexican Back Roll), Front Rolls are only toeside. A front flip is like a doing a Kartwheel. When you say front roll you are probobly flipping straight forewards throwing your chest straight down to your knees. Yes this is a front roll but when doing it Heelside it is called a Mexi-Roll and concidered a backroll. Most pro's know how to mexi-roll and backroll because a normal backroll allows easier rotation on frontside tricks, and a mexi-roll allows easier rotation on backside tricks.

HS Front Flip with Front Side 180 (Front Flip to Fakie)
HS Front Flip with Front Side 360 (Slim Chance)
HS Front Flip with Backside 180 (Front Flip to Blind)
HS Front Flip with Backside 360 (????????????)
HS Backroll with Frontside 180 (Backroll to Revert)
HS Backroll with Frontside 360 (Heelside Mobius)
HS Backroll with Backside 180 (Backroll to Blind)
HS Backroll with Backside 360 (KGB)

Peace!

crash, your the only one who made sence in this, isnt the only diference between a backroll and a meican backroll is that a mexi is with one hand Question

No it is posible to do a mexi roll with both hands it is just the way that you flip, I am sure there are people out there doing mexi rolls but they think it is a back roll.

Dam you cat's kill me, HS front roll I can't believe I keep seeing people post this stuff.

Have some respect for the sport, learn the terminology. (I hope that's what you are tryn to do here at wakeboarder.com)
Any clown can pick up a guitar and beat out a few riffs, only a musician can read music and appreciate the complexity or simplicity of said riff.

Jim keep them in line will you....
Like I have said before you are a better man than me bro.

HS Front roll.... LOL.....
