Can you practice stopping a back roll halfway through and then rolling forwards out of it? This will help you to keep in contact with the mat.

I had no problem learning to roll, after i did it Wrong the first time & spent the next month off the mat!

It does seem to me that the males are just more intent on proving how fast they get it.

Its not about speed...
