does the roll happen on the ground, preceded and followed by standing on the board?
That.
but a) the trick doesn't exist and b) i can't do it neither. Only something i thought about
(i always come up with weird ideas, everyone loves it. The reason is that i have to work with what i can do ... I also train the very-very old-school style, Jay Adams, very flat on the ground, hands touching the ground, surfy ... That style is nearly dead, though really fun, but exhausting too).
Yeah, 20-25 is nearly a kid, i meant middle-aged when it comes to skaters. Though there are quite some at my age (most go for pool skating or vert-ramps, street ist really tough for the bones). Famous ones are Caballero (of course), Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk is still rocking too, Steve Alba aka Salba -> big fan of that yoga thing, etc. ... but i meant locals.
back-flip in the air. In America that seems pretty usual, at least with one hand on the coping, then either stand or do the flip. Here you barely see it (in general you can't compare the level in both countries. Mainly cause in Europe you can't go professional and make a living, so most stop at a certain age).
