lilsk8erdude4, you shouldn't post if that's all your going to say because that was just pointless and by doing that all your trying to do is get up your number of posts. that's something you call spam so cut the stuff the forums are cluttered enough as it is

peca, if you have see any of his posts you can pretty much tell they are all pointless and stupid.

I used to work at a mexican restaraunt, and we made a lot of mexi-rolls Laughing

i don't like calling it a mexi-roll when it is a backroll that just looks a little different.

no, it's a legitimate name. The trcik is completely different. In fact, the mexican way must be used for wrapped KGB's and backroll to blind...

i find the term "mexican roll" offensive

the name came from that female pro wakeboarder ... cant remember her name but she was in shaft ... neways u dont have to use that rotation for a roll to blind ... your thinkin of a plain roll to revert .. but yea u do more of a mexican roll to do a kgb though .. and double backrolls are generally mexican rolls .... they are just considered alot less stylish is all

lilsk8erdude4 umm yeah, obviously you cant do either if you dont think that is the way the trick is performed. when you are in the air the closest thing it looks like is a ts front roll.

Holly crap I always thaught I was doing a backroll but actually its a mexi roll......What am I doing wrong ?

there's nothing "wrong" with a mexican back roll, it's just your approach and execution. If you want to throw it more like a true backroll, then concentrate on edging up the wake and away from the boat. Look over your lead shoulder too, instead of down. It also helps to keep two hands on the handle.
