Leftside Runarounds

[Chris Stratton]

How do people feel about left-side, reverse turning runarounds in standard?

Natural ones seem pretty comfortable (there's even the syllabus left whisk exit) and at first I didn't understand why the one in a class routine felt "wrong" - then I realized because of the challenge of doing it in left-side-outside position (I hadn't really focused on the fact that we were turning the other way).

Is making this look really clean & good a reasonable quest? Or is it likely to always look strained?

You mean like a standing wing?

Well, a reverse standing spin so to speak, exiting via a brief pause into a standing wing type of thing, then a standing hover telemark to promenade.
