Manual roll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manual Roll is a skateboarding technique in which a rider balances on the rear wheels as part of a larger trick sequence. The maneuver is derived from the manual, a technique in which the rider maintains balance on the rear wheels without allowing the tail of the skateboard to touch the ground.[1] Unlike a manual performed in isolation, the manual roll is typically incorporated into other tricks, such as ollie variations or transfers between obstacles, increasing both technical difficulty and stylistic complexity.[2]
Usage and technique
The manual roll is considered properly executed when the rider maintains controlled balance on the rear wheels without scraping the tail of the skateboard. The technique is used across multiple disciplines of skateboarding, including street, transition, and pool skating.[2]
