The front rolls are preliminary lead-up exercises to the more difficult front somersault. In the front roll the body describes a full circle on the ground. In the front somersault it does the same thing in the air, taking off from and landing on the feet. If the front roll is taught correctly, certain fundamentals will carry over into the more difficult stunt. Some performers will be able to do a front somersault the first time they try it if it is taught in this way. Snapping the head forward to the chest and tucking closely must be stressed throughout the teaching of the roll progression. FORWARD ROLL |
