$5 please.

They arent a clean release like a normal backroll, they are hucked forward, it looks like a bad habit. You see them a lot on roll to blinds and backside mobes, it is easier to swing your momentum around to blind if you throw it mexi.

i've had people tell me this is a mexi roll cause more board kinda goes back and over my head instead of up and around.

It looks to me that a mexican back roll makes it very easy to catch the board on the rope.

ive been throwing both rolls i just wasnt sure if i was throwing it right... ive found the mexican to be a tad bit easier... especialy when you crash..
ive come down a few times now 3/4 way around and right on my melon when on a backroll.... the wake im riding on is so pathetic but its a pull at least. thanks for the videos guys 8)

my friend used to hit the rope a little bit with his board when he did his rolls mex. but now he fixed it enough so that he at least pulls it off clean
