There’s actually two ways to do a Backwards EB Cross, and in this version I’m doing: 👉 Backwards EB Swing 👉 Backwards EB Cross 👉 Backwards Single Under I cover this all the time during my coaching sessions with jumpers, and there’s a few really important parts of this skill that you have to get right: That initial Backwards EB Swing is really hard to see, and it can be very tricky to control, so you gotta watch out for that. Make sure your back hand is still helping to bring the rope up over your head after the EB Swing. It needs to help pull the rope down underneath your feet in that Backwards EB Cross. You really have to focus on that back hand more than anything else! If you keep that hand moving and you can feel your wrist constantly changing direction during this entire skill, you’ll have a much easier time doing this skill. If your back hand does not move, you're going to get stuck and the rope is going to catch underneath your feet… Remember to drop those hands lower than you think you need to! You’ll be tempted to keep raising your hands higher and higher - DON’T! If you’re able to put all of this together, this version of the Backwards EB Cross is going to be much easier!
