Been practising picking stuff up off the floor today, and going from heeling upright to heeling with fingertips trailing on the floor and then back to heeling fully upright, without stepping/planting/stopping.
There seems to be two ways to do it: either by bending your back a lot, not your legs, or by bending your knees a lot, not your back.
If there isn't a name for this "trick" I vote we call it the Orangutan
I like it because if I drop something in a shop I can pick it up without having to stop rolling. |

When I have that problem, I usually powerslide past it while I pick it up, then revert back to normal. But your way works for ppl who can't powerslide lol. |
