THANK YOU for the video!!! Tried it out with a few of my kids tonight. Not perfect but we still hit it immediately. Awesome grip!!

That's what I was wondering: How do you hit one legged stunts with this grip?This video helped me so much. Worked in one practice to prep, extension and some even hit full up liberties with this grip (Even though the grip is slightly different to one leg).
i think you'd do the exact same grip, flyer faces the back, group just has to turn 3/4 instead on 1/4. for 1 1.2 up at least :)That's what I was wondering: How do you hit one legged stunts with this grip?
I'm also asking myself, how it makes transitions to 1.5 and double ups easier, when the bases already have to rotate for just a full up. I keep getting stuck in my own head, while trying to imagine it. Any hints?
@Jule - The grip for 1.5/double up is a bit different, though I don't have a video/explanation that I can actually give you. I only know my part and it is different from the full up. (not much, but enough that you'd need to see it to make it work I think). I also lose more of my grip on the 1.5 up and have to catch my part of the feet on the way around.

Did you find out how to hit the one legged stunts with the ruby slipper grip?
Okay, that makes sense! Maybe we should start by doing that and then wait for someone to let us know if there's another grip to hitting one legged stunt :rolleyes: I've been trying to do some re-search but I haven't figured it out yet. If I do, I'll let you know!Not really, yet. :/ So far, they're hitting extensions/block and then the side switches grip. But I also haven't had time to focus a lot on it, sadly, as we've had to prepare a couple of games and events.
My gym always did full ups the traditional way but recently we switched to a cross legged version where one base will have the fronts of the flyer's feet and the other base has the backs of the feet. I found it a bit easier but I was just wondering if my team are the only ones that do this?
I'll have to try and convince my coach to give it a try. It looks so much easier and much neater to execute (when it hits though). :)We do the crossed legged version with all of our teams except one. We recently tried the ruby slipper with that one team, and it's so much easier :rolleyes: At first it may look complicated but once you get it.... -> :D
