i have an idea, but can someone give me the true meaning of when a backroll is mexican

A backroll is Mexican when instead of turning your head towards your lead shoulder and throwing it out and away, you tuck your head down and throw it like an inward front flip. Think of two posible axis on to which you can throw a backroll. On a regular backroll, you rotate on an axis that runs through the front of your body to the back like a cartwheel. On a mexican backroll, you rotate on an axis that runs through your lead hip to your back hip. Hope this helps! <BR> <BR>Jason

A backroll is Mexican when I'm doing one Ha HA

Regular backroll is a backroll where the rotation is tip over tail. The Mexican is a backroll where the board goes rail over rail. A mexican can lead into other tricks like the kgb, backroll to blind and the double backroll. Sick trick! <BR>lates <BR>-ken
