Yet another contact trick from Ted (if you get a chance, definitely take a class from this kid at Wildfire), this one involves a fun reversal on a contact trick I've been playing with for months wherein after trapping the head, one rolls it down the forearm of the arm that catches it rather than across the opposite forearm. This sets you up to be able to do fun reversals where you can flick the poi back using the cradle-to-forearm roll or theoretically roll it across the forearm of the opposite arm to generate a longer contact surface. I do have to admit it's kind of fun to find classifications of tricks like this that put me back to being a rote newbie and having to relearn how to move all over again :)
