I learned how to roll quite quick. I watched videos on you tube over and over. I first day I tried wasn't very successful. I was doing the hip snap right but was lifting my head too early. The next time I went out to practice was great. I got the technique down. I use the C to C roll. Rolling is a lot of fun and once you figure it out is simple to do. I do find it easy to roll on one side and more awkward on the other. This season I am gonna practice the sweep roll just to learn it. I tried teaching my girlfriend how to roll but that was quite painful. I am not sure she cares enough to learn it. But , oh well.
