Unroll
« on: December 15, 2005, 10:02:33 PM »
Basically a backwards roll (thus "unroll"), I mainly use it to recover when I want to redo something quick.  But I suppose if you like running backwards it could be usefull :).  It's quite easy, just image your doing a forwards roll and do it backwards. ;D

thats just called a backwards roll in gymnastics and other things. the lexicon is for parkour related terms that are widely used by all traceurs, not just some new term you make up. ;)

Does this remind anyone else of 1984?
Parkour creates communities, not rivalries. Keep competition out of parkour.

Ok, I wasn't aware that it already had a name.  It's a move that i've used before and i didn't see it on the list yet so i figured "why not".  Anyway i'll try to keep it more relevent next time :)
