Hey all, so I'm not sure If I'm the only one with questions or not, but I'm slightly confused on some of the new rules. Mostly, because I haven't seen them in action yet, I'm not sure where to draw the line with some things. First off, I was curious about suspended backward rolls..
Backward suspended rolls are permitted only from the performing surface provided the top person maintains continuous hand-to-hand/arm contact with two posts who control the top person back to the performing surface.
I'd like to simply assume that this stunt can occur with the flyer and just 2 others (bases). Just grabbing hands and the flyer more or less doing an oddly spotted back tuck with hand holding. No backspot is required.. I dont think.. Now I want to make these look a little more like college-style rewinds. So 2 main questions are.. can the posts hold hands with one arm, and throw rewind style with the other arm, and as the flyer comes back down, brace armpit or something? All while maintaining hand/hand contact? Also, can 2 posts hold arms, such as front and backspots, and bases completely throw like a college rewind, both arms and all, as long as 2 posts maintain hand contact? This would in my opinion provide much more height and an impressive stunt to the flip.
Second, when the rules say you are only allowed a 'switch-up liberty' as a release move, does that mean you can ONLY go to a lib? Or are switch-up stretches free game as well? The wording confused me.
Lastly, I honestly can't remember where it said something that made me think this is legal, but are superman style cradles now legal from preps? Like, prep, pop the flyer and she cradles to her stomach. The backspot may maintain ankle contact through the entire transition. This would be without a post. Legal or not? Sorry for being vague on this one!
