    Does anyone know of a video that has someone doing a figurehead spin (on a static pole?) I want to practice it as my next spin, but I can't remember where I saw it.

    is this the spin where you do a back hook into a figurehead?

    Here's a video where they do it at the beginning. (if it is the one you are talking bout)

    It's the first couple of spins they do. Unfortunately I can't do it, but ive heard you need to arch your back to get your arm through. In these spins in the video tho, they dont flip over their top hand. I think your meant to flip it if you want to go into a shoulder mount doing a cupped grip.

    Hope this helps! x

    Oh, what a pretty spin!! Thanks for sharing, I've added it to my list of things to try 🙂

    I like the second one too, boomerang to split heel, but that looks scary…
