Coaching cues
- One hand on the wheel; the other at the side or behind the back
- Roll straight out from the knees — resist the massive anti-rotation demand
- Return slowly; the single arm dramatically increases the oblique demand
- Master the standard two-arm rollout before attempting this variation
