I was reading your other post and you were saying you were still working on your t/s frontrolls . I cant do one but you defitenley need a strong frontroll . However i have tried acuople and notice if you take a alittle shorter cut for a tootsie and get your upper body and shoulders behind the rope instead of leeaing over the rope cause it will make up for your heigth since your not cutting as hard.

Tyler~Moore, thanks for lettin me know Very Happy

Phil, my ts fronts are good now..i wrecked on the first few i tried tonight and then finally stuck every front roll after i finally landed it and i also landed an elephant tonight thanks to working on my fronts. i didn't try one tonight because i don't like to try new tricks i haven't tried before in public (i sound like a little kid but i like to do things in private first Wink

)

i will try to get it later this week...i was thinking about trying it, but decided i don't want to be hurtin for soccer in the morning Laughing

maybe this weekend or when i feel brave

He`s talking about doing a tootsie roll, which is a t/s frontroll with a blind 180. Landing blind onlys mean you land switch wrapped. But ive never seen anyone land a tootsie roll blind but i have seen t/s blind 180s landed blind.

Just so you guys know, you can't land Blind from your ts, you can hs. you can do a bs 180 from your ts but you hafta make a handle pass.

Ok then, when was the last time you landed a tootsie roll "blind" or "wrapped"?

Phil, no blind is landing wrapped and edging toeside. its called blind because you cant see where you are going. wrapped can either mean blind or wrapped as in rope behind back but edging hs. for blind landings you dont have to land switch. and you can land blind from ts but you have to do a 3 or 7 or 1080 and if you want to land blind from hs you do a 180, 5 or 9.
