  • Split silks, single footlock, strong passé pose
  • Grab pole with hand opposite that of the locked foot, trapping silk in armpit
  • Use free hand to bring silk around the back and over the lap
  • Grab pole with free hand, release the other hand, grabbing silk at armpit, pulling silk to meet the tail over lap, grab together creating a “seatbelt”
  • Lean back, bring free leg over both poles, drop tails, pull up on pole to sit up and rotate so poles are behind your back
  • Grab tails on same side as locked foot, dive forward (no need to catch the poles)
  • Bring free leg in front of pole and hook knee, drop tail and pose
  • Grab high on front pole, pull up, unhook knee, bend knee of locked foot, grab that pole as well, stand up, unlock foot, shake off silks
