My biggest pet peeve is flexability I hate when flyers have little flexability and when scales aren't straight it drives me nuts

Flyers that don't look fierce in the air. errrr. bent knees drive me crazy, as do crossed legs. My new "annoyance" is what I like to call the "teapot double down." Not something I see very often, but a flyer on our team does it. The elbows are completely out to the sides, and they look like a teapot spinning. I think the flyer on our team actually doubles down with her hands on her hips.
Fake full ups where the bases walk a mile underneath.
Ankle stretches.
Feux bows (bow and arrows with the arm extended out behind the leg instead of in front of it)
bows where the flyer has to lean over to grab them
heel stretches pulled to the side
And I know I'm not one to talk because I am the least flexible person in the world. But if I flew you better believe I wouldn't be.
Also I think straight cradles from anything one legged is ugly. When I was level 3 we would always pull our 1 legged stunts, bump down, and go back up to extension full.
Nose dive double downs also scare the crap out of me. I've been on the back spotting end of those and it isn't pretty.
When flyers hold the front of there foot in a bow, I don't know why it just annoys me.

It is so awkward to hold your bow like that anyways. You cant show off your true flexibility.Thanks
Thanks HeyimA...now it bothers me too! I guess I never noticed anyone did that.
haha I know I love her. BUT maybe I'm weird with the ankle grab.Bam. lol I don't mind the ankle grab as long as its a fierce bow.
Oh and the video is private.
