Lo’s mount on FX, 1/1 hop pirouette on FE or PB

4. Watch a film or video in reverse.
Eg. reverse cast on PB, Healy on PB Honma on R

5. Using the mind’s eye, change a skill by mirroring the motion of body parts.

eg. flaired circles on FX & PB, Tong on PB, Li, in R salto backward on R

7. Take a move from women’s gymnastics
