Random 7 (Horizontal compressed accordion) was replaced by "Brouette": FF-7. Brouette 1. One performer is in a flat orientation, the other performer is in a back-down orientation. 2. The performer in the flat orientation takes a grip with one hand on the leg of the other performer and with the other hand on the arm (at the same side as the leg on which the other grip is taken) of the other performer. Random 9 (Star) was replaced with "Catepillar": FF-9. Catepillar 1. Both performers are in a flat orientation. 2. One performer demonstrates a left-handed grip on the left leg and a right-hand grip on the right leg of the other performer. And Random 10 (Single-Grip Head-Up) was replaced by "Double-Grip Head-Up" (essentially a sit round): 1. Both performers are in a head-up orientation. 2. The performers demonstrate a two-handed, hand-to-hand grip with each performer’s right hand in a grip with the other performer’s left hand. The intermediate dive pool seems to have stayed the same. I'm actually pretty glad about the changes. Replacing FF-9 eliminates the star/HDstar cheat and the Sit round part is just more exciting I could however do without the dirty French name for FF-7 I always wondered why "Catepillar" is misspelled on purpose too.108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linebckr83 3 #2 January 8, 2010 Does flat orientation essentially mean belly to earth? If so, FF-7 sounds like a side body with one person backflying, and FF-9 sounds identical to a Cat grip in RW.

SimonBones 1 #3 January 9, 2010 Yes, you are correct. 3 Way freefly has incorporated belly orientation moves for years because as the old cliche says, freefly is flying in all orientations. The old randoms were a straight belly star (round) and the horizontal compressed accordion where it was like a belly compressed accordion, except one person was on their back.108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the new sit round a lot. Ya I'm a baby FF'r but adding more sit orientation stuff is cool and tough from what I understand and have experienced. It was once said to me "there is a reason you will never see a 108 way sit". Then she followed that with... well maybe some day Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.
