Do any of you guys try new techniques totally off subject for example my one of my coaches could impersonate billy olson, scott huffman (doing the role), drop knee, european swing, and the steel pole sliding hands ordeal i cant even do a normal tuck!

I Huffman rolled 15'6" on a 14' pole once. I used to play with the roll all the time in the summer when i was bored of regular jumping just pick up a small pole and drop a leg. I think I figured out exactly why he did the roll. It kinda cool I think he did it when he was blowing through a pole once so he dropped a leg and it slowed down the pole and he got a decent pop off the top. He didn't do the roll until after college.

yeah, the roll isn't too hard. Never wanted to try in with a bar for fear of getting racked. tried left handed, tried barefoot. havn't tried with cowboy boots yet. tried with hands together....
One time when I was coaching, the head coach asked if I could demonstrate stalling out on top so the kids would get an idea of what it looked like and how to get out of it.

Yea my sister has something wrong with her. She does that Huffman roll sometimes in practice, but not on purpose and she smokes 13 foot with it. She is crazy. She also likes to vault barefoot and i don't how but she also jumps good that way.

Yep. I've seen it. She rolls better than Huffman.
