Trick

Barrel Roll Backflip

The publisher's backward flip over the heel-edge side, distinguished from flipping over the tail in a Wildcat.

HOW TO DO IT

Barrel Roll Backflip

The source's backward flip over the heel-edge side, contrasted with the tail-axis Wildcat.

Preparation and setting

Supervised backflip awareness and Wildcat familiarity in the publisher's pathway.

Known phases / unresolved execution

  1. Identify the heel-edge-side axis.
  2. Review the source's upward pop and extended-shape concepts with a coach.
  3. Distinguish landing recognition from changing rotational shape.
  4. Obtain an actual feature-specific departure, flight and recovery pathway.

Learning and practice

Do not convert a body-axis description into an unsupervised snow drill.

Errors, limits and corrections

Ambiguous coordinate labels can create a false equivalence with Wildcat.

Observable checks

The attributed axis is preserved; complete mechanics require review.

01

teaching summary — coaching review required

The lesson discusses aligned departure, upward pop, extended body shape, landing spotting and subsequent rotation control.

02

editorial review notes

A visual comparison is required before standardizing the axis across the library. The mention of Backside Rodeo 540 is not a complete Rodeo lesson.
