shouldermount somersault

I’d love to try this flip but I don’t know if I’m strong enough. What would be a good precurser to let one know if she was ready?
Just put some couch cushions under me and go for it? LOL
-
safety wise I guess you should be able to control the movement rather than just throwing yourself over, so I would maybe see if you can do a super invert and hold it for 10 secs as a marker maybe? I think you’ve def gotta be able to hold a shoulder mount in various positions for a length of time? ah sod it, have a go anyway! just put some cushions down! lol

I tryed this yesterday and i found my head got in the way and i ended up in a heap lol,i did it quiete slow so im thinking i didnt have enough momentom to get me over.Its harder than it looks and it is scary!x

Oooooooo this was my next move I was going to try to learn… I want to do it on the pole as I still don’t have the best splits…. I’m all about shoulder mounts…. walking shoulder mounts, shoulder mount spins on a spinning pole, shoulder mount to superman, etc. etc.
Maybe this is the reason I feel like I’ve been kicked in the ribs for two weeks though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I need to take some time off.Julie

yay! I managed this move last night (once i’d given my poor shoulder a couple of days to calm down lol) andposted a vid….. think it might be my new favourite move (as every new one is!), so much fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’m a bit late to this party… but I LOVE SM flip!
I am confused as to why I haven’t felt any pain with this at all though. I have been doing SMs since Dec 2009, so maybe that’s why…but I don’t feel pressure or strain any differently to a normal SM, in fact I feel it less. Perhaps because I take mine looow like limbo and flip to a stand? I can do it higher up, but it doesn’t look or feel as much like a flip on me that way. I’ve seen this done on to the pole and to the floor from a height and it looks uncomfortable, especially if done slowly. Karol’s low SM flip to a split is what I looked at before doing mine. Didn’t see this thread… Veena’s to a stand and split in this thread looks awesome, but in a recent video she did one slower from standing to a stand that looked painful to me. I’ve ‘taught’ it to an instructor where I take classes as she’d not seen it live and as fast and flippy as mine and hadn’t tried it before. She kept doing it higher and with a kick (not that she’d ever need a kick up, she’s strong?) for ‘more momentum’, she also tried it from a SM pike and controlled it… for both she said it hurt! And little student me was doing it ten times over fast and furious (IN HEELS) with no pain at all. So weird! I feel like from a very low position the hips roll over without having to get momentum from a kick or using more gravity and it doesn’t wrench your shoulder at all. Or am I just crazy?
Did Veena ever make this a lesson?

I have not made that lessons yet…but I will https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It is not painful for me either. The two best ways I have found to keep the pain away is speed and when going slow, you must have proper placement on the trap. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I don’t feel pain now I’ve learned to do it correctly!! lol
-
wow ! i think thats so impressive! i am too much of a chicken to try at this point. think i would break 76% of the bones in my body! keep trying would love to see a vid! good work!

I was already doing the SM flip when I saw this but Alethea was teaching the girls to do it from a crouch position with knees bent when we were in Jamaica last year and this seems to work well.
Also, as you go up and over, look back down over your shoulder and "spot" the area on the floor behind you that you expect/want to land in.

Would this be safer to learn from a shoulder DISmount but dismounting just enough to tuck your legs and then reversing directions and flipping over? I’m not sure though I’ll have to try this move tonight.
