Hey! I know I'm level 2 that you can only 1/4 cradle, but with constant contact with at least one person in the stunt group you can 1/2 cradle. My question is can you 1/2 cradle from a prep lib as long as the back spot keeps contact? Thanks

Yes you can, however, you have to be careful. If your backspot is only staying connected to one leg during the transition and your bases throw your flyer too high and the connection with the backspot goes above prep level, that is considered an extended single leg stunt and you will get a legality deduction. You can avoid this problem by have the backspot stay connected to both ankles just to be safe or you can ensure your team knows the risk of throwing to high. :)

Perfect! Thanks!
 
Would it be legal if the cradled from and lib or arabesque with the backspot maintaining contact?

As long as they maintain contact with both legs until the flyer is caught. We've competed a 1/2 turn cradle from prep arabesque all year :)
