All-Star Creative Lines Challenge

[Aussiekat]

Summer fun challenge: think of a new line to contort your flyers into ;)

There's got to be something other than a stretch, scale, scorp, arabesque, and variations (bow&arrow, needle, spike). I think the free stretch (the leg held up after releasing from a bow&arrow, not sure what the technical name is but I call it a free or release stretch!) is becoming more popular and it's hard to make it look good. It really relies on different muscle strengths than the usual lines to make it hit.

Can anyone think of new and fantastic lines to pull? Or how to push the boundaries on the basics? There's no better time than summer to work on flexibility!

I forgot what it's called, Erica, Maddie, and Madison do it on senior elite after 360 ball up. Stretch and holding your hands in the back. I've tried it and it's harder than I thought lol.

They are quite old and have been around long before that.

I've always thought chin straps look really cool and wondered why more teams don't do them.

it's called the paradise pose

Ok, so far it's either a paperclip, umbrella or paradise pose.

i am just referring to the yoga term, which is the name for the actual body position

This will be the most creative body position for 2012 2011 and on.... ;)
A free stretch while holding leg thru arm while holding behind your head :p

Photo of Lake Zurich High School && they double downed out of it!!

My goal to see would be....to corkscrew down while holding it and going right back up to the top (no letting go).
Somebody make it happen?!

It's a pity I find yoga so unbelievably boring- I know it's good for you (my mom is really into it), I just can't hold poses, breathe and relax! But I'm sure there's some amazing body positions that can be modified for cheer. Wanna look into it for me ;) ?

My cp does this thing where she pulls a scorp to needle then to scale but doesn't let go of her leg the whole time. She just rotates her hip in the socket. Her teammates called it "The Nasty" last year. Does that count?
Maybe I can get her to do a vid of it...
