How many 8 counts do you plan to allocate to your opening portion? I personally think the opening is a good place to get in 1-2 stunt skills or tosses that are quick and visual plus some speciality tumbling passes that maybe only a select few of your team have.
Of if you don’t have many 8 counts to spare, a visual, multi-level formation change into your next section would work. I am a fan of lifts right now. Or lifts then the flyer tumbles out directly upon landing the lift. Like a 1/2 turn tuck lift and then the flyer tumbles out at an angle. I could probably forward some clips of what I’m talking about but it won’t allow to attach anything except a photo here. :)
