    I have been working on this for months with no improvement. Last week I started working on negatives thanks to another member’s suggestion and I finally did it today!! I am so happy that I found this site, everyone here is always so helpful!! I can’t wait to get the classes again. Hurry up paypal!

    Yay! I gave up on the chopper awhile ago (put it in my "save for later" list LOL) as I had trouble with it as well. When you say negatives, do you mean going into it already inverted and then coming down?

    Great job!

    Congrats! I haven't been able to practice in a while, but I hope I get it soon 🙂

    thanks ladies! I’ve been trying to get this move for 8 months so I am super excited.

    fuzzynavel~ yes, going into a tuck from a basic invert and then coming down. I still can’t come out very controlled but I guess that engaging the right muscles was the key for me.

    Yay, the negatives worked! I think people tend to forget about engaging the muscles in that manner but it can be a huge conditioner.

    The place where I used to dance emphasized using control to come down the same way one went up as an established exit strategy, that's one of the reasons I know how effective it is.  🙂
