1 story parking garage kong!

Kong off 1 story drop into a roll right outside my college campus. I just want to say it took me an hour to progress up to this height (including a proper warmup and other drops at a lower height). Kinda a big accomplishment for me, since its only the second drop onto concrete I've done thats been over 11 feet! FTW.

Sweet little drop+roll in downtown San Rafael... (pardon the odd noises... again)

So-so, Good and Perfect Rolls

2008-06-30T18:22:21.488Z

Every so often, at GWHS we practice rolls on the the big sport field, either jumping from a stand on the perimeter rails, or running into it from the field itself.
It's safe and a good basic training...

It is important, though, to think at the roll as something that should become automatic in certain conditions and on (almost) any ground.

Even if you don't drop (as you shouldn't...) from heights, or you don't necessarily feel you need it yet, truth is, you never know when you need a roll, because of an off balance landing, a sudden misstep, a forward bail or else.

That's why we practice: to be ready for emergencies... the need to avoid landing on your face, twisting a wrists falling, or spraining a knee look like an emergency to me!
;)

And remember: SLOW PROGRESSION!
We didn't invented it, it's always been there... because it works!
