Barrel Rolls routine by Gus
« on: July 25, 2014, 02:56:44 PM »
Gus published several demonstration videos to his facebook and I asked him for permission to upload this one to youtube. It has several variations of barrel rolls, aka átomos.



He is still trying to come to worlds . . .

Yes, Barrel Rolls (Atomos) are a regeneration trick. The efficiency is not great but fair.

The half (one-sided) -barrel rolls (Ticos: from Costa Rica) also regen (although he does not do them on this video) and are easier to learn. The mini-barrel rolls he does (derived from a Colombian move) probably not (but I am not sure).

Watching him do the tricks in slow motion feels like transcendental meditation  :D
