I’ve been watching Becca Butcher’s vids and man, she has that inside leg hook right in the knee pit like outside leg. I can’t get it. I’m almost hooking on with my foot more than my leg. I wonder if its flexibility. I’ll have to keep trying it.

I had so much fun last time!!! Can we do it in march? That’ll give me something to look forward to before I go see Jenyne/Jamilla/Fawnia and Felix in Vegas in April!

I’m working on this one right now as well. If anyone knows any great ways of getting into it, lemme know. I also really love the way karol comes down from forearm grip ayesha in a similar style… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGcI-ZeDQZg&feature=sub
It’s at 4 min 8 seconds on Karol’s vid. The starting move is different but the concept is the same.
as for the former one (angela’s vid) it feels safe, but I hate that it looks almost like i’m jumping down. I want to come down into flag slowly and then wrap my legs around the pole and sit upright. Perhaps i need to work on core strength and balance more and work on somehow facing the side of the pole instead of going straight down. I think one of the keys would be getting my legs in some sort of angle so they’re not straight out. The further they are from your midline, the harder it is to hold your limbs. I’m also having a hard time getting my arms in a way where theyre not spread out, I think they both need to be close to the pole and close to your head.
Anyway, can’t wait to not be sick anymore so I can try again!

MemberJanuary 27, 2010 at 4:24 am in reply to: Caterpillar to butterfly, can’t seem to do itThings that help me:
I invert on the left side of the pole because I am right handed. I end up with my left leg in front and right leg in back. But when you get into butterfly, your front leg becomes your back. Make sense? So my left leg is back and my left arm is down. I tried originally only with my right down and could NOT do it.
The other thing is push your butt up as far as it will go.. so your legs are about ninety degrees. Otherwise you’ll feel like gravity is pushing you down.

Please let me know how this is. I was trying to get this woman to fly into Austin and my co-workers are being cheap. I’m so disappointed, I really wanted this cert.

Yeay, I got it with top hand bent first try. Still had to take top arm off for a second and couldn’t get it on the second or thir.

Will try with the top hand bent more. Part of it is leaning back to make your "window" as big as possible. However, I only was able to do this move once. Don’t know what the hell I did. I watched one of Michula’s videos and had a big ‘aha’ moment where i thought flipping my top hand into a cup grip would allow my hips to roll over but it didn’t. I have the strength to hang out in apprentice- I just get stuck. Any further advice would be helpful. Transitions into superman have been difficult for me- I can do it from hip lock and starfish/scorpio but neither is a smooth one-move transition, in other words I dont make it look easy and effortless.
