E-bone, your shirt made me think of wise words of the sage Jim Croce:

"You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim, da do da do..."

Yeah, I'll probably get some payback dealt my way for that one.

They are easy.. dont forget to redirect with the opposite hand!

yeah somewhat true tom, but riding switch i'm HORRIBLE

if shes not good at riding switch it would probably be just as tricky.

I hear you Josh, I suck at switch too... pretty bad.

BUT, I think that's why front rolls are easier switch... because you are used to weighting your (regular) back foot and turning your (regular) front shoulder away from the kite... these two things help make the switch front roll work... It's like a back roll going backwards

After learning backrolls I landed front rolls on my first attempt switch. I still cannot do them the other way!

I suck so bad at them regular that I don't try them when people are around...it's just too embarassing.. I end up getting dragged 50 feet on my back.
