Hey,
I pull this roll all the time when i ride, but some people say its a backroll, some mexi-roll, and some say its just a weird backroll thing. Can anyone confirm a name on this bad boy.

I would say mex..randomhero, mex rolls and back rolls are the same thing, just look a bit different. Back rolls are more straight end over end (tip/tail) and a mex is more like a edges over edge (hs/ts). just different forms of the same thing

Yeah it looks like a mexi-roll. It is basically a backroll that is done by rotating more of an rail to rail front flip rather than a pure backroll: edge to edge.

Not long i guess, i started off doing backrolls, but i was alot more consistant at them behind my friends boat, my boat wake is weak with no weight. I started trying backrolls behind my boat more often and found i could spin faster if u hucked myself like i did in that vid, so i just started doing that thinking it was the same as my backroll, but i looked at video and saw it was different, i only started pulling them this summer tho, but i cant really say how long it took, cause i didnt know i was doing a Mexi-roll Razz

I think a backroll is when u rotate by throwing ur weight and hucking ur head to the side towards ur shoulder, but a mexi roll u hit the wake then tuck you head more into ur chest, the flips turns out to be more of a forward rotation then backwards..... I think :S

hyperlitemofo, mexican roll is just a nickname given to a style of backroll. it's when the trick is done like a front flip on a trampoline.
