Snake Roll/Double Snake Roll

You must be able to do an elbow roll to be able to a snake roll.

To do a snake roll you hold the baton off-center, then while holding your elbow up and moving your baton like you are doing a single elbow roll you let the baton go almost all the way over your elbow. Instead of letting your baton go all the way over you move your arm out like you are shaking someones hand when the baton hits your wrist and make sure you keep your thumb pointed up, but have your hand open until you catch the baton after it rolls down your arm. Make sure you keep you elbow and arm straight when you do this move.

To do a double snake roll you have to be able to do a normal snake roll first. After you do the snake roll you keep your hand out and put your other hand next to it. Then you set the baton on top of your right hand which should be facing down and pull your arm straight in. The baton should still be on top of your hand but under your elbow. Then, you just flick your wrist slightly up and the baton should go over like an elbow roll and you then catch it.

  2. I like to watch people do baton. But if I tried to do it I would end up hitting someone. I looks pretty had to do. I would think it would be even harder to do it with the ends of them on fire.
