Roll to Revert is a backroll with a frontside 180, landing switch. Start it like a normal backroll, then add the revert late after the roll is underway.
Use a progressive cut and edge all the way through release. Keep both hands on the handle while learning, spot the landing, then use trailing-hand pressure to bring the last 180 around.
Do not cut too hard or spin too early. A solid backroll, switch riding, and frontside 180 landings should be reliable first.
