Terminology
In this video we demonstrate and describe the different types of whips. Whips are an Acro skill in which the flyer swings on the bases feet from one position to another. Enjoy this overview, and further videos will dissect the specifics of the skill.
Spotting for Whips
In this video we discuss our perspective on how to safely approach a whips practice, we review common pitfalls in whips and how we can avoid them in the first place as well as when to apply spotting.
Crochet Hook
In the last video of our starter whips series, we're going over crochet hook, a tricky way of linking sidestar to a whip.
Body positions for whips
In this second video of our series on whips, we review the essential body positions for both base and flyer separately so you have better success together!
Backwards Swing
This video details what is involved with the backwards swing, formerly known as the "forbidden whip". With our progressions it is safely self-spottable. Enjoy!
