Is there a minhag to roll around on the floor if 770?
I saw a video of  that being done this morning
When someone converts to Chabad they have to dip in mikvah 770 times and straight from there they have to do 770 somersaults on the floor of 770.

For some it takes multiple attempts before the conversion is complete.

For years I would keep my shirt untucked until after the Mikvah. I don't recall when and why I switched to tucking in earlier on in the day.

Well, I learned a new song looking for this.
Clearly my location is not 770.

Nothing less appealing than seeing the Taliban running the circus there, sorry. And is there really a need to insert yechi into didan notzach?  :o

As crazy at it is, there's an atmosphere in 770 you don't get elsewhere, there's nothing like it.

This is true.
Also, they're certainly chayosdik, but seem so misguided.

That tradition goes back to תשנ״ב.

Please don't get me started about some of the new tunes/songs that people come up with. No authentic Lubavitch sound to them. Could have come from a Mizrachi wedding or Poilisher Tisch.

Yes. They do it at many different occasions. Usually starts after a half a bottle of vodka though
