But unfortunately, the last 15% is the hardest by far. It's an impressive roll. Equally impressive in the John Heath video is the rock-in-fist, one-hand roll. Finally, I think the hands-tucked-in-skirt, no-hands roll is the best of all. Never seen the last one performed however, only mentioned in campfire discussions. It may not be possible, but probably is.
