Shoulder Mount to Flag Combo
Hi everyone! I have an advanced move i’m hoping someone can help me with! It’s the flip combo from a shoulder mount to a flag and back. I’ve only ever seen a few women do it, but I’m trying to learn it. You can see it in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRFVFOA-VRQ at 5.48. If anyone can do it, it would be great if I could get some tips!
Thanks!

Hey ya,
This moves a bit of fun its a combo ya cant go half way in i use double cup hold for my hands. Now as you go up and start to go over you really need to put some energy in and really throw yaself up if ya try and go slow i found it to be really painful and off ballance also dont try to stopyourself in the flag just let a legs swing down then back up otherwise youll do yaself some damage. if i had a cam try and make a break down of it for you but im affrai i have none if you have any questions that i mayb abe to answer let me know. good luck with it!

try it close to the floor first (dont climb too high) with some type of safety mat or pillows beneath you in case you fall. Be sure you can do each move separately first (shoulder mount, aerial shoulder mount/flip, flag). Pay close attention to her hand grip and momentum. Her legs go down to the pole first and then she lifts into flag although i have seen some dancers go straight into flag but i’m sure that comes with practice. Good luck and have fun!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
