All-Star Ruby Slipper Full Up Grip

[XtremeWpg]

Can anyone who has attended one of the USASF meetings, or knows, explain the ruby slipper full up grip.

A video would be great if it's available.

Thanks!

I saw this on CheerUpdates twitter, if it's any help. Looks interesting! (Sorry if the image doesn't show up, this is my first time ever doing this from my phone. Just let me know if it doesn't.)

It is. They just nicknamed it the ruby slipper full up grip.

Oh okay. I was confused because I thought they were marketing some fancy new product.

Lol no, it's a new technique that's supposed to make full ups easier!

It worked on my phone but the photo isn't showing up on the computer. Looks like an interesting new grip, would love to hear an explanation or see a video!

Gotcha! Since theyre slip on shoes, I wonder how they make sure they stay on the flyers foot without slipping off easily

If I had to guess, I'd say black shorts on the left is the backspot (or becomes the backspot before it's over), and her other hand is on the flyers rear. And the one that we only see their hands is another base. But like I said, that's a guess.

According to twitter the girl with white nail Polish is the back spot

Ahh, interesting. Does that mean the bases would turn/rotate?

If this is what i think it is its really easy
the girl on the left is the backspot, back one is the sidebase and right one the main base, all the flyer does is just stand up in a lib, the bases do the rotation and go to their regular places
i always confuse main and side in this so i am not 100% sure
we did that with 3 groups last season and if you only look at the flyer you dont see any difference at all

I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I really don't like it when the bases move in a full up. I guess it just looks a lot cleaner when they don't move. I know it gets scored the same regardless so I understand why people want to make it as easy as possible though.

The flyer still gets to wear regular cheer shoes like the rest of the team, I believe the grip is just named that because of the position the feet are in in the new grip
