He is interested in learning the exact mechanics of every skill he attempts. At the same time he applies lessons from his Kinesiology background into his training regime, which gives him his uncanny aerial awareness ability.

Quickly becoming an industry leader with their online videos and tutorials, they delivered Roe’s thought process in an easy to understand method that any athlete could relate to.
