it looks like a slight variation but the principal of the slicing paddle and the rotation really is a different energy source for getting you up. Look slight different. Feel major league difference. Chris

Nevermind, i'm thinking of the reverse screw roll.

I thought the screw roll was from the bow rudder position. This just seem like a slight variation on the back deck sweep roll...

thanks very much ... im just starting to learn rolling and your videos are excellent, i think ill concentrate on the twist n slice and the c and c to start with .. once again thank you

Well Backbonz reading your comment lets me know that you really are doing that roll. The magic of this roll does not happen unless you roll the wrists like you say, causing the paddle to slice. IT REALLY IS EFFORTLESS IN A WAY THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE TILL YOU FEEL IT. Sometimes I use that exact analogy of the motorcycle throttle and if other things are in place that is what closes the deal with the student. Thanks for your comment.

This is the roll i learned to do. The key for me, was rolling the leading wrist back like throttling a motorcycle. Total key for me. Chris mentions slicing the blade thru the water, but i never got that feeling till i learned to rill the wrists. Then, it is truly effortless. I have to revisit the details on occasion or i get sloppy.

So this is very identical to the Back Deck Sweep roll... is this easier?

I paddle an ll hoss and since getting it, rolling is more challening. This is my roll of choice for high sided boats like the hoss or lil joe

Sounds like you not only understand how this roll works but you feel it also.
