Every one is different on this stuff.
It's harder for me switch, too, Josh.

"Back in the day" most of us learned front rolls first, then backrolls. It was mainly because there were only a few of us, and Bill Carr was nailing fronts alot and we watched him and copied him.

I think fronts are easier because the redirect of the kite matches what your body is doing. However, it is a blind landing.
The backroll itself is easy, but it seems odd to direct the kite opposite of your rotation, hence the accidental kite loops I see over and over when people first start.
Either way, these are both fun.
I think Donna might get the front roll next time out. At that point, I will only have 1 more trick than her. Oh well.
