This was a cool move 25 years ago. Why don't we see it any more? Should be a snack for you forward loop junkies?
My memory is that this move dished up a fair few broken collarbones and cracked ribs if you didn't make the full rotation and crashed onto your gear on the way down...![]()
Was not aware of any more issue with a barrel roll compared to fowards or backies even sailing in a straight line can leave you with fractured ribs. Cheese rolls when mastered give you some time perched above your rig looking around at the crowd below. ![]()
I agree Eric, I've hurt myself doing backies, forwards and barrels.
You will have to get back on the windsurfing gear and show us all how to to them properly.![]()
I reckon with enough height and speed one could come out of a cheese roll and straight into a forward loop?.................probably already conquered?
Here is the Cheesy into a back loop!
Cross shore winds are the Best. There is a bit of gear getting around Bondy getting me aroused. One day.
I dont think i put enough cheese in this roll. Almost ended up "Cheese on toast" instead. Your tips have been great Eric, definitely much harder when very onshore. Although nailed a good one two days before this. Will keep trying. Its a fun move and have felt the float/stall feeling now.
Very inspired after seeing Rushtons sick efforts again.
