did her coaches teach her to always stand clean to the front after she tumbles? or was it just a habit she formed? @kingston could answer this too :) i noticed in her KTMAI video whenever she does running tumbling, she lands whichever crazy good pass she is throwing then immediately stands tight to the front!
All Stingrays are taught to stand up clean to the front. It looks cleaner and you aren't distracted by the dance, shimmy, dust off your shoes, point at your friend, throw the call me sign to that person in the audience you really like.
In my personal opinion, there is maybe one or two passes at Worlds that would be 'ok' doing that... maybe. But overall, meh, most people end up looking sillier than they might personally think doing that. Its about the flyer equivalent of throwing awkward winks in a stunt while mouthing your vowels.
From a competitive standpoint, its also way more intimidating if you have all these passes not celebrating and just doing their job.
