Definition: A Rock and Roll is when a skateboarder rides up a ramp onto the lip, or coping, and then rides away. The front trucks go over the lip, and the bottom of the deck rests on the lip.
How a skater rides away from a Rock and Roll can change its name. For example, if a skater rides up a ramp, Rock and Rolls, and then rides back down Fakie (the opposite direction the skater usually rides), then the trick is called a "Rock to Fakie" (read Learn How to Rock to Fakie to learn this trick). If the skater rides up the ramp, puts the front trucks over the edge, and then 180 pivots out and rides down the ramp in the skater's ususal stance this is a Rock and Roll (read Learn How to Rock and Roll to learn it).
The Rock and Roll is a popular trick at skateparks, and in competitions. For example, a Rock to Fakie is a great way to start riding fakie quickly if you want to try a trick from the Fakie stance.
