Alright, we were talking about ninety degrees rolls. Well, ninety degree rolls are across
shoulders. Now, with one hundred eighty degree rolls, again, increase that, once you're comfortable
with the ninety degree roll, start increasing that angle until you hit one hundred eighty
degrees. At one hundred eighty degrees, you've got to change the way that you're moving across
the ground. So, if I'm on the zero line, and one hundred eighty is behind me. You're going
to be bending back and reaching for the floor. And the closer you can get to your own feet,
the better chance you have of performing this correctly. Now, you're still going all the
way across your wingspan, and across your shoulder blades. But, as you fall, you're
changing the ninety degree roll to where you're actually going back and you're creating a
one hundred eighty degree roll. You're creating a ninety degree roll out of one hundred eighty
degree approach. So, what do I mean by that? As you're going back, you have to pivot your
hips. You have to change your point of contact, and you have to make it to where you are coming
back on line with whatever it is that approached you. So, back, back. And then as you get comfortable
with it, turn that hip. And up. Now, how's that different from a ninety? It isn't. It's
just, something caught you this way, you had to take a step or two, and your only chance
is to roll backwards flat. Or, hit the ground flat. You don't want to do that, it hurts.
