Kneal, I can't wait to offer up those excuses for blowing my roll!
I think staying calm, positioning are key - and considering it's a C1, the "too much water in the boat" doesnt "hold water" for me.. (ahhhahahahahahah, brilliant)
Although I guess I could claim that my skirt blew. hmmm... no-one will ever know except the trout/pickerel (we don't have Gar up here all that much)
Oh - and Martin - I think you missed an excuse: "I flipped upsidedown in the bridge rapid on the Beaver and crashed into the river bed at the bottom - When I went to try my role, I thought I broke my paddle but then I realized my shoulder was broken"

Mike, at least you don't have to come up with stupid stuff like:
"Dude, I did not get the feathering right"
My last blown roll was when I snapped my paddle off and my handroll failed.
That was in a POOL AND FROM UNDERWATER I SAW MY BUDDY SMILING AT ME. Oh well.
Pat, my buddy Jakub never misses his roll but he missed a line once and blamed it on not having had a beer yet. (he is Czech).
