Request for Vid Clip Breakdowns
-
Thanks V!
So here is my instructors video of the Devils Point Shuffle…. https://instagram.com/p/p3xzTrE0Gp/
I actually couldn’t find a video of anyone else linking them together like this (when I googled it people seems to do one then invert to scorpio or something.)Here is AA doing that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKinE7klbEEWe’ve been working on it, But getting the 2nd invert is tough. I even start on my weaker side so to end up on my stronger side. (I can usually aerial invert ok on both sides)
I feel like there might be one tip or trick I’m missing.. maybe the right time to switch the hands or get the momentum going… Sigh. 🙂
-
Yup newschik!
I love the look of it linked together like in the instagram video I posted…
But even if i could do it just the once Like Aerial Amy or Alethea Austin (just realized they are both AAs, :P) Then I could work up to getting it on both sides. -
Oh and I just re-watched Alethea doing in on spin, so fast! Ahhhhh! That looks so cool too.
-
The instagram vid clearly defines the needs of the move: the ability to have both arms strong for that “reach down the pole push” as well as strong knee hangs. I’ve never worked on this move, but I will start. Thanks for the move suggestion, Allyson!
-
I should get a video of me trying… It’s ok(ish) until I need to turn and get the pole on the other side and invert. Like the momentum is working against me instead of for me… And you have to raise the hand up at some point and I just think I can’t get the timing right. :/ let me know if you have better luck.
-
Ok I recorded both of the moves requested, do you still want me to break them down for you guys? I also have 2 other variations for the suicide back hook spin!

💗💗💗 love you veena💗💗💗
-
(And yes!!!) 💕
-
That’s ditto on the YES, Veena 🙂

Suicide back hook went up yesterday https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/555b9449-14c4-4b80-ae65-281c0a9aa0eb and I’ve got the Shuffle recorded, and I will post sometime later this week. I must confess I had never tried the DP Shuffle before and you will need to have VERY strong inverts on both sides to pull off more than one pass on this combo.
-
Thank you Veena. The three ways to exit the suicide spin are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Quick Lessons is a great addition to the site here. Anyone who isn’t using them should be….a wealth of information!
-
Thanks Veena!!! i know its hard, but i also feel like somehow Im not doing it correctly. Not in a huge way, but I feel like there is a detail I’m missing… but like my lowerbody momentum is going in one direction and my upper body is trying to pull it the other way for the invert. I dont know if that makes sense… but its also possible thats just the way it feels and I just need to get stronger to get it… But I kept hearing people say that the momentum should help you… so I feel like I’m not using it right!
In the meantime I’m going to prep by doing gemini climbs!
On a side note… I have to say. I’m blown away and touched by your responsiveness. You are a great teacher and a genuinely nice person who wants to help her students. I know its a ton of work to record these things, and you have the challenge of figuring out the moves yourself…. It’s just really a really nice thing for you to have done. Thank you.

Well hopefully I can help you understand the Shuffle a bit more!
Thank you guys!! I feel like a have a very full lineup of traditional lessons that have all the bells and whistles, to give everyone a good foundation! These quick lessons are really fun for me! 💜💜

oooh can’t wait to try these! its funny my friend showed me the shuffle a while ago but i never knew the name =p i find the first part pretty easy but ohhh yeahhhh you need to keep some juice in the tank for the second invert haha i have usually slipped down to floor level. so its helpful to try keep some height! =D

Allyson, did the Shuffle lesson help clear anything up for you?
