Reverse Sweep Elbow Roll

David Täng David Täng

Yes! The holy grail of Rolls... 

This roll is introduced in the Swedish Greenland Rolling Competition in 2025. 

Why? Isn't it impossible? 

Well, I may never be able to carry this one out but for all the great rollers out there this may be the utimate challange. I hope that someone in the next few years will carry this roll out, perhaps sooner... I really hope that it will be someone young! Come and beat us oldies! 

I have tried the Reverse Sweep Elbow roll a couple of sessions and I'm not even close. This is a tough one but as I said - a challange. I really enjoy having a new goal, a new quest! 

To be continued...
