"no name yet" = Flyer lifts up into a tuck over the base's feet, optional pike, flyer places self in reverse throne. Waterfall, but with hands up on shoulders, into weird hand-grip shoulderstand, done in a straddle. Then, straddle bat. And through to reverse bird, then low foot-to-hand. I think the flyer then lifts themselves through to reverse throne again.
"no name yet" lost me. flyer lifts up into throne HOW? also what is waterfall?
The flyer's lift into throne is a strength move. They're supported on their hands (which are on the base's feet) doing an L-sit or whatever -- then they straddle their legs and basically sit on their own hands. Extracting the hands can be a little awkward.
They hook their feet, and then this is waterfall:
In fact, that's me doing waterfall. :) Just a backbend to get the shoulders down to the base's hands. But unlike the video, the flyer wants hands up to their own shoulders, and it goes into a sort of hand-to-hand balance. I'm not quite sure why do this instead of just a shoulderstand -- that would work too. Anything with the flyer there over the base's hands and in a pike straddle, then from there it's easy to fall or shift to straddle bat.
Going through to reverse bird, as in the last flow, the flyer's torso has to move backward through the base's legs. Base flexes feet, flyer lifts their chest. Then with some relief (nobody really loves reverse bird), the flyer pikes to lower their feet to the base's hands and stand up.
From there, it's flyer showoff time again -- put hands on the base's feet and lift unaided through to an L-sit or whatever, straddle the legs and sit down, and get the hands out. Repeat. Repeat.
