Forward straddle roll

Basic skill

• Forward straddle rolls are good development for stalders and other skills when done properly.
• If a beginning gymnast is very inflexible working this is moot until they have gained some flexibility.
• The gymnast should think about lifting their toes as their feet approach the floor. Their hands should be pushing on the floor before their feet touch.
• Work towards the straddle roll becoming a stalder press to stand.
