One of the most fun maneuvers you can do with an X-Scooter is a barrel roll. Here are the steps.

1) Get yourself an X-Scooter (prices vary depending on what you get with it);

2) Watch the DVD that comes with it about 100 times (great music too!);

3) Take it out on a calm day to a cove with a beach for sea trials;

4) Become familiar and comfortable with the X with a few days of diving with it;

5) When you feel ready, pitch your right wrist slightly up and to the right, just like Chris Cali does in the DVD that comes with it;

6) There it is!
 
Personally I prefer to place the handle at the 10:30 position and pull back on the handle, because this is easier and I'm inherently lazy.

All the best, James

With the grip at 10 oclock you would roll clockwise, onto your right shoulder and around.

With the grip at 1 oclock you will roll counter clockwise, onto your left shoulder and around.:D

I'm telling you... nothing good comes out of following what Cali does.... Like letting him talk you into a scooter dive


:)

Just kidding... I take it you are local?
