Forward Rolls.
Rolls are great for helping you learn to keep One-Point. That's because rolls make you dizzy, and keeping One-Point is the only way to stay stable when you're dizzy. Rolls also help to soften up your body. Double click the black & white picture above to play a video of Forward Rolls, single click to stop.

How to do it. | |
(Practice on a soft, forgiving surface.) Squat down with your right knee on the ground and your left knee up. Place your hands on the ground in front of you as shown. |
|
Duck your head down very low and make your body into a very small ball. | |
Push off with your feet and roll - much like a child doing a somersault. | |
Roll all the way over until you come back to your original position. Repeat these steps until you run out of floor. Then turn around and roll back, this time with your left knee down and your right knee up. | |
