All-Star Heel Stretch, Needle, Scorpion, Pretty Girl. What Are They Called And How Many Are There?

[uhhlyssa01]

I think what's most confusing is how the same thing has like 18 different names for it:

heel stretch/front stretch
scale/ram
bow n arrow/overstretch
switch up/express up/tic up
straight leg scorpion/needle
backhandspring/flip flop

Not to mention I still don't personally have a name for this pretzel/free handed/paperclip/behind the back thing of a stretch....

*edited to fix my awful typo!

that's cool I remember seeing that in a Georgia hs routine. Then the next year the same team did a bow and arrow then bent/pulled their leg over their shoulder.

This is the best worst thread title of 2014.

Most people I know call a heel stretch when one arm is in a high v and a front stretch when you grab with both hands. Not important though I get your point!

@King @mstealtoyou @Ashley
Any chance of correcting the the spelling in the thread title?

Thank you sweet Jesus! There is a grammar God! Grammar mod?! Who cares at this point. This thread title will finally stop making me twitch.

[emoji22] am I the only one mourning the end of an era with the title switch? My guaranteed giggle is gone.

I will forever refuse to call anything else a needle.

And then there is the (oldschool) needle!

That's a "six o'clock".

Oh and the weird tilt thing that somehow usually looks good, when dancers do it but often looks kind iof obscene, when cheerleaders do it. Something is just weird to me about that body position. ^^
