A redirect pattern: the leader begins as if leading an inside roll, then "pulls the ripcord" — reversing the follower's rotation with a small counter-rotation so the follower unwinds the other way and returns down the slot.
The surprise reversal makes it a favorite for playfulness and for matching stutters or rewinds in the music. Should feel like a smooth elastic rebound, not a yank; most instruction emphasizes leading the reversal from the center, softly, with the hand staying close to the follower's axis.
