All-Star New Way Of Fulling Up (easier But Still A Fullup)

[youbetterwork]

No I haven't, and not familiar with that way. I have one group on my level 3 team that just consistently do 1 foot half ups to the top. I was hoping someone might know a different way.

Oh you said 1/2 ups, not 1 1/2 ups.. Sorry! :rolleyes:

Curious how many have tried the new way of fulling up I just saw. It is quite fantastic and makes the skill markedly easier while still meeting all the requirements I have seen for a fullup to get full credit.

The flyer loads in and the side (some of you may know her as the main... lets just say the traditional spinner of the fullup) has their normal grip. The difference is the left foot crosses in front of the right foot and the main (again some of you may refer to her as the side but the base who traditionally had to let go of the foot) reaches around behind the right to grab the left heal. By doing this grip the flyer never loses contact with either base. The level of ease at which I saw someone hit a fullup with this skill is quite amazing (and a 1 1/2 up as well).

How many people have tried it?

We have recently started teaching full ups like that at USA camps. I have also taught it to my all star team. Its basically a half up, its genius!



I have practice tonight, Ill try and get a video

Yeah my Junior 3 team does their full-ups this way. I saw it this summer and loved it! I've also been peddling it to the middle school and high school teams who train at our gym. You wouldn't believe the amount of full-ups that started going up

This is a really weird coincidence. about 6 hours before you started this thread I posted a video of the exact same thing in the coaches section. It's still there if anyone wants to see it in slower movements.

This is a new grip :confused:

I have a basket grip for full ups I like. I think I got it from Cory....

 

[spiritmama]

My kids were full up challenged for the last 2 years, Learned this new grip this summer... BAM. No more full up issues, hit easily and the kids confidance is through the ROOF.

My old team and gym full ups this way, SO much easier!!!!
Heres a video (in the first stunt you can't tell because were facing the side, but the pyramid is a better view) :)

Here is one of our grouos doing it for a double up...

 

[rockymountainthigh]

1.25 up with the grip. If anyone can find a video of Alpharetta this year, they do them in a 1.5 up.

Couldn't focus on the stunts because their uniforms are soooo beautiful and perfect :eek: also, did they do a double-9 jump..?

 

[gi_cheer]

Had my girls try this today---so much easier!

 

[callmecoach]

Tried this with my team tonight and WOW. They were just as shocked as I was at how easy this is. A big thank you to kingston for posting and to everyone who added tips and videos. This just eliminated so much full-up anxiety for coaches and cheerleaders!

I find this much easier as a flyer as the traditional way of doing a full up it just hits so much cleaner I find as well

Okay, we we tried this last night. Not a total failure, but we didn't ever have a full up to start with.

Can someone explain what the right base does with her hands, and what the third(back) does?

We spent an hour on it and it got better, but not easy as pie :confused:

The hand choreography for the set is the hardest part. Once you get comfortable with how to set into it it gets a lot easier.

The right base (facing it) takes their right hand and goes behind the legs and grabs the heel. Their left hand can do a number of things. I like putting it on the thigh to help stand it up, but in reality it can do whatever you would like it to. The third (back) just gets under the butt and gives it a pop. The back is just responsible for giving the stunt some pop. The flyer should practice holding the smoosh on the ground with their feet crossed and stand up and think about pulling their left big toe to their right heel (just a mental thing to think about, we actually want to end up in a cupie).

Once it clicks it is ridiculously easy.
