Double Back Roll

Has anyone pulled off a double back roll. Is it called something else. I didnt see it on the trick list. Does anyone know of someone who has. ( other than Parks ) The reason I am asking, is My son who is 16, has come very close to landing one this past weekend. I am just wondering how good he is. I personally think he is the best, but that is because he is my son. He has a lot of improvement to do. He can do inverts, but has not added any grabs to them. he can do some of them switch. So where would he rank on the cool factor if he does land it?

I know Daniel Watkins and Gerry Nunn do 'em like they're walking out to get the paper.

if your son pulls it off, he's ultra cool in my books haha

i cant even do a single back roll yet. my goal last summer was to land one, and i always get close... but it's just not coming. im able to get decent air, pull some 180s, do grabs, the little stuff... but its so damn hard to do a backroll. then i see kids going out there and pulling them off within the first 10 tries. why couldnt that be me?

anyways, im on the water again in 2 weeks... im gonna land one! my goal this time is to not only learn to do backrolls like im walking out to get the paper, but to do raleys and maybe tantrums too. i have a good 3 months of riding until the season is over.

anyways back to the double back roll. i dont think many can do it, but it is definately possible, and there are even pros out there who dont do them yet. if he pulls them off, throw him in a few competitions, he'll do awsome

There's a sequence shot of parks doing a Double half-cab roll in WBM July on page 133.

He has my respect.

Jesse keep it up and you will most likely have it landed this summer. I was one of those kids who you say land it within the first 10 tries but I've done boarding sports all my life. Does your board have fins because I've found its alot easier to land it with fins because you wont slide out as much. Just keep at it because there isnt a better feeling then landing your first invert.

tell him to work on the 1080 so he can win some money

Yea... double back roll is Danial Watkins trick..

Isn't it Shaun Murray's trick?? I saw him land one at pensacola a few years back. Speed ball is the name i believe

Josh Sanders hits the double backrolls, too. The Speedball (double front flip) is exclusive to Shapiro. There's a guy by the name of Joe Greenway who has come damn near riding away from a Temper Tantrum at a few of the local comps.

Mike, next time you guys go out film your son and put a video up on the net for us to see.
