Crossed silk straddle invert slack drop
From Silkworms
crossed-silk straddle invert slack drop:
split fabrics and hang between them; invert in straddle, bringing legs outside the fabrics and then tuck feet between the silks in front; flex feet and turn feet inward at ankles while straightening legs and pressing hips forward, to wrap legs in fabrics above and support weight (keep pressure on fabrics at hips with hands). with hands, bring the fabrics at waist behind the back, crossing (trade fabrics in hands behind back), and back around to the front. then unwrap feet from fabrics above and straddle again.
alternate entry: from crossed-silk straddle invert, kick off wraps from legs. (this is easiest if starting with regular footlocks; more awkward with the alternate double en dedans wrap footlocks, and an even longer though sometimes more graceful process with double or triple en dedans wraps.)
from either entry, take both fabrics together in one hand in front of bellybutton. slide the other hand down along the tail (this is the position shown in the photo). then bring the second hand, still holding the tail at the lower point, up to the first hand-- a loop of fabric will dangle between the two hands. to drop, let go with the first hand (bring it quickly out to the side to prevent its getting tangled in the loop). fall is for the exact distance measured out in fabric between the two hands.
