Frontroll is a toeside front roll: a forward, end-over-end invert built from a strong toeside approach. It shares setup pieces with Scarecrow, but lands without the added frontside 180.

Approach on toeside, stand tall near the top, back off the edge enough to release cleanly, and throw the head and shoulders down toward the board while keeping the handle low.

Prerequisites: toeside wake jumps, toeside 180s, trampoline front flip awareness, and comfort keeping the handle close to the hips.
