Rola Bola

[worldwidese]

I saw a 10 year old Chinese kid on TV recently, with the board on top of 5 tubes. Is that anything special?

special? It's INSANE

That's a very difficult trick, even for an adult !!

mass x's velocity and such

>even for an adult !!<

Presumably an adult would weigh more. And would weigh more in comparison to the frictional coeficiant of the tubes and boards.

Whether that would make it easier or harder I have no idea!

Of course in theory, bubble bees can't fly!

try it and find out. Until then you should change your member status to somthing other than "been there, done that".

There was a guy at Edmonton one year (maybe '89) called "Fearo, the Master of Balance" who did exactly that trick. Trouble was he had absolutely no show. He'd just turn up and do his one trick. Several people tried to help him develop something but he was simply and truly hopeless. After a few days he just checked out of the hotel and left town. He left his boards (with "Fearo" burned on one side) and tubes in the green room and Dick Finkel gave one to our son, Larry, to use in '92. It is a very much-prized piece of wood.

Victor Dodonov, a very talented performer doing his Rolla act. Great 7 stack at the end.

JURI CAVEAGNA, a nice fast paced high energy Rolla number. Handstand on one rolla. Only time I've seen a jump 360 (50 seconds in). Finishes with an 8 stack.
