Frisbee and Flying Disc Body Rolls
Body rolls are a popular Frisbee freestyle technique that involves rolling the Frisbee across parts of the body.
In 1975 Ken Westerfield introduced the freestyle move called "body rolls"
(rolling the Frisbee between outstretched arms and across the chest or back), then introduced it at a national tournament in Rochester, NY called The AFDO (American Flying Disc Open). The hottest move of the day was called the "Canadian Mind Blower." Westerfield would roll the Frisbee across outstretched arms and chest, to outstretched arms across the back (front to back roll). Today body rolls are an integral part of every freestyle routine.
Freddie Haft introduced the nail delay at this same tournament. The Nail delay and Body rolls are two major innovations in disc freestyle. These innovations as well as other historical events are covered in several Wikipedia articles.
