description Back Extension Roll Overview
The back extension roll is a gymnastics floor skill in which a performer rolls backward and extends through the shoulders and hips, using the hands to pass through an inverted position before returning to the feet. Unlike a basic backward roll, it emphasizes a strong, open body line and active arm support, and it may finish in a handstand or a controlled landing. The skill is practiced by gymnasts and tumblers developing backward rotation, body tension and handstand control.
