I understand that there is a lot of slack and dropping in to positions in this one, but are there any tips for less slack in the first part where you end up holding with your left knee pit? I’m literally losing my entire length of silk work space😂🤦🏼♀️ Having a blast! Thanks!

More Questions today. Lol After the pop and I twist down into the belay, I’m having a lot of trouble getting my head to go down. My lower body seems heavier and tends to weigh me so I’m upright in the belay. Also, before the pop, I feel like my right side is very secure as I change my grip, but my left side always seems a little looser. sometimes in the video I can even see that my left hip is an inch lower because of this looseness. Need a video? Thanks! 😊

OK, last question, I promise! I am also struggling with the inversion. Is it just a strength thing or is there technique that I’m possibly missing? On a really good try I’m towing over. on a bad try, I’m just falling to my death lol just kidding, but I am struggling. also probably making muscle! 💪🏻

Still struggling with losing height, even after the awesome Q&A. Any thoughts on what I’m not quite getting right?

Thank you for the video! For this moment, think about the left leg finding a knee hook on the pole that is under the thigh, really pinch it to create a single pole ‘cradle’ as you lean back to swim the other pole to make the X back. After the arabesque shape, as the leg is sliding forward on the first slack pull pole, keep the hands by the shoulders, find the knee hook as the elbows elongate so you only slide the length of your arms at most. OR! Try keeping the elbows bent as you sink the hips down, compressing the knees to the chest as the knee hook solidifies, getting that pole into the knee pit ASAP for your solid knee hang pinch. You’ve got this!

Odd question. I randomly found great feedback from silkstars team on my submissions and I can’t find it. What do I look under to access your feedback? (May Challenge looks great by the way.)

That is a great question! We will dig around.
