A waterproof jacket is advisable, you are likely to get dirty and damp. Some old jeans and/or overtrousers are also a good idea, unless you enjoy spending your evenings scrubbing grass/mud/unrecognizable stains out of your fabrics. Oh, and ladies, I speak from personal experience when I add that any chest protection is a bonus. You could be in for a bumpy ride.
What to avoid
Cow pats, mainly, although thistles are also a likelihood in the average rolling location. It all depends on where you roll, of course, and if there is a busy road at the bottom of the hill, then I'd watch out for juggernauts too.
How to get some momentum
Shove off.
Alternatively,
take Franky's advice: "When you want to spin faster place your hands on your head, and just let yourself
roll and roll, keep the body straight."
After-effects to expect
Temporary dizziness, less temporary muddiness, attraction of bemused stares from passers-by.
