The backwards Cross, Swing ,Open is a really cool backwards combo! But there's one thing that's very, very important that's easy to miss… The hand that’s underneath in the backwards Cross points to the side you're going to swing on, because you have to keep that bottom hand underneath in this combo. So the bottom hand in the backwards Cross should also be the bottom hand in the backwards Swing! Basically, just stay crossed in that Side Swing haha. The bottom hand pulls the rope down, then up and over your head to finish the combo. Getting this right will be the difference between an awkward combo and a very, very smooth combo. You have to make sure that you focus on doing this above everything else! You also want to make sure that as you go into the backwards Cross, you drop your hands down and point your handles at the floor. Your hands should stay up against your body. Don’t push them super far away from you. You can raise your hands up a little bit during the Swing, but remember to drop them down with relaxed to wrists to finish the combo smoothly!
