I want to work on the drop that Jenyne Butterfly does starting at 2:08. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ6M8NwvOG4 Does anyone have any tips or a tutorial on this? =D Also - any variations or other fun combos to try?

I think that move is typically called the jenyne tumble. Aerial amy has a blog post/video on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Vtj7K6KTs Tips: 1. Be brave 2. Go to your brass monkey side 3. Be prepared for some bruised knees (at least I bruised my knees the first few times) Before I knew the name, I called it the 420 drop because in most performances Jenyne does that move at almost exactly 4:20 every video.
Aerial Amy AI think had it in her blog a little while back. Yep...found it: http://aerialamy.com/blog/2012/02/21/tuesday-tips-tumble/
Aha! You ladies kick ass! I can't wait to try this tonight. That was a great tutorial too, I was getting flustered trying to do this, and I realize my hips weren't off the pole far enough. Thanks for the help! I'll post some progress pics once I nail it!
I also remembered seeing this trick float around a while back, but I've never attempted this variation either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miehizFYT6k Anyone else have some funky drops to try??
Here's the superman fall to try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yjngIWNA6w
So I gave this trick a little tumble.. ha ha. I will need to try this again while filming, not sure if I had bad arm positioning - I kept getting pole burn on the outside of my hooking arm? I also think I wasn't extending enough to make room for the transition. I did however hit my cheba split without feeling as nervous. =)
