Please help me. I don't understand the apparently American prejudice toward flicking one's head up as one completes the C to C roll or finishes up from a low brace. The ACA seem to teach it. Roger Shuman writes articles extolling the virtues of the "head dink" maneuver. Derek Hutchinson is ranting and raving against it in the latest SK Magazine (letter to editor). I simply bring my head up last, keeping it well back. I can't see the need to use a head dink movement. I generally tell newbies to avoid a lot of unsafe head flopping, but now I see it actually being promoted and entrenched. Given geometric expansion of numbers, it won't be long before everyone in North America is head dinking. Any comments or experience out there with this issue. Any one into kinesiology.
