I think what's most confusing is how the same thing has like 18 different names for it:

heel stretch/front stretch
scale/ram
bow n arrow/overstretch
switch up/express up/tic up
straight leg scorpion/needle
backhandspring/flip flop

Not to mention I still don't personally have a name for this pretzel/free handed/paperclip/behind the back thing of a stretch....

*edited to fix my awful typo!

Most people I know call a heel stretch when one arm is in a high v and a front stretch when you grab with both hands. Not important though I get your point!

Any chance of correcting the the spelling in the thread title?
