Double backroll

Description

Double backroll is a competition trick: double rotations and combined axes, for whoever already has every invert and mobe clean. At the park it is trained on the big kicker only, over deep water, with the instructor on the pontoon. Two backrolls in one jump.

How it's done

1. 01

   Approach at the highest speed you control, on a progressive, continuous edge.

2. 02

   Pop straight up and keep the first rotation compact, knees to chest.

3. 03

   Keep the handle at your hip through the whole second rotation.

4. 04

   Open your body slightly to slow down and spot the water.

5. 05

   Land with your weight back and your legs ready to absorb.

Common mistakes

• Opening up too early: the second rotation never comes.
• Losing the handle at the top of the first rotation.
• Trying it tired: a double is always done at the start of a session.
