Closed-Open & Open-Closed

The orange and blue rolls are mirror images of each other, yet the patterns on both are identical.

Orange

Closed-Open Orange

The "Closed-Open" roll gets its name is for having a confined start and an open ending.

What to remember

  • Ends with 3 jumps. Most variations you'll want to end on orange to take advantage of this space.
  • There is a large gap in the middle. It's straightforward to jump dive across this gap. However, it may be smarter to stay on blue to avoid it.

Blue

Open-Closed Blue

The "Open-Closed" roll gets its name is for having an open start and a confined ending.
