My level two team has been having the hardest time with these single leg twists. The choreography calls for a 180 to heel stretch, and they are having a hard time just getting them to libs (if at all). We don't have time for them to two leg 180 in and then hand up to lib. Our next competition is in about a month and it's a big one for us rival wise. Does anyone have any tips for how to make these work? This is our only full-team stunt that has the twist so our points depend on this hitting.
Right now, the main is holding a 360 grip on the toe and secondary has bottom of the foot and under the flyers bent leg to help toss her up. The universal problem is that they are not getting around enough, twist is too slow, etc. The most severe group sometimes stops with the flyer facing completely to the side and then she buckles from the wonky positioning. However, flyers ARE standing up. I can't help but think someone underneath resisting the twist somewhere or something is going wrong. I've considered switching the main's grips to something more along the lines of a tradition 180 crossed hands kind of thing. Does anyone have any thoughts or tips? How does your team do it?
