ramon knee hook entry:

(needs photos/video)

this is the first setup we learned for the ramon wrap. it feels kind of long and fiddly to me; but it's also reliable and easy-- none of the steps really require great finesse. also it may be necessary for putting multiple body wraps on, for e.g. the triple dive.

start from same side knee hook. put a single thigh wrap on the opposite-side knee. then, switch knee hooks. this is mostly a balance move-- it turns out that if you key over strongly you can rest for a moment without a knee hooked at all; getting used to the feel of that lets you unhook one knee and then hook the other.

then, pass the tail over the unhooked leg. piking strongly and passing it over your foot as you hold your leg straight might be the simplest way to do this.

then, switch knee hooks again. hold the tail with the opposite-side hand, and you're in a ramon with your knee hooked.

uses/builds on: same side knee hook, opposite side knee hook
