I am so pumped because I have been trying backrolls and today I was landing them every time but for some reason I would let go right before the landing. So I have not landed with the handle yet. I have been working on these for 3 weeks. Any tips.

yeah hold on to the handle. Handle Dropper! lol sorry I couldn't resist.

In all seriousness, it sounds like you just need to hold on to the handle. Make sure you keep the handle at your hip though and if you start slipping out to your butt then let go of the handle with your back hand right before you land. That's what helped me. Good luck

I had the same problem when I was learning the backroll. It's just a mental thing. The only thing to do is just focus really really hard on holding on, which can be tough when you are upside down and disoriented. Good luck!

yea dude make sure its on the lead hip. this trick always natrually wanted to take me to revert and it was because id have the handle placed in the wrong spot..also do this trick with your eyes open makes a big diference.
