Yep. CEA does them wrong, and Taryn is too. For it to be a heel stretch, the heel has to be facing straight, not to the side. Everyone does it, so it looks "right", but it's not. It's a lot easier to pull it to the side too.

I want to say that is Molly in the 3rd stunt (correct me if I'm wrong) but that looks good to me, the "correct" way at least.

No, looking at the picture Molly is first on the left, all these girls have the heels not facing forward...I have always thought the heel was slightly off to the side, but today found out differently.....

Yep! The third one over looks the best! As I said earlier its not just where hips are, but also how the hand is rolling the foot in or out. As a flyer - you almost have to "base" your own leg and control the foot.

Great leg but bad motion :( and the bases grips don't look very good to me either.

I think it might have been the stunt that fell :/
