In Response To: Rolling Videos (Gregory)

: Has anyone seen the video, "The Kayak Roll". It was reviewed in SK
: a few months back and seemed to get the editor's thumbs up. has anyone
: else seen it, and if so, do you think it is worthwhile? Is it better than
: Grace Under Pressure (another one I have not seen)? Thanks

Hi Gregory,

Yes I have seen it and it is worthwhile for students and instructors. I have posted a link to make sure we are talking about the same video.
The first part is excellent for showing the rolling concept to beginners and the latter part is full of teaching and troubleshooting techniques to aid instructors in being more effective teachers. I would not show all 55 minutes of the video to a beginner in one sitting. They would be overwhelmed with information that may not even be a problem for them.
Kent Ford also has a whitewater video "Kayakers Edge" that has 5 or 10 minutes of rolling information that is excellent for introducing beginners to basics of rolling.
Videos cannot replace good instruction but they are great tools.
I don't know where you are in the rolling process, but hope this is helpful.
Reg
