Reverse foot lock

From Silkworms

reverse foot lock:

(aerial dance wrap foot lock)

This foot lock has the advantage of being simple to put on, but it isn't quite as easy to take off as the regular foot lock.

start with two wraps around the shin, en dedans. then lift the wrapped leg high enough that a loop forms underneath the leg (the fabric running from the wraps to the pole). step back into that loop, and you're done.

to get out, step forward out of the loop.

one of the big advantages of this variation is that it is easy in split silks to put one on each leg at the same time; and doing them both at the same time makes it easy to make them come out at the same height, which is handy for a lot of double foot lock poses.

note, in the picture, that the tail comes off the foot from in front of the wraps; in the regular foot lock the tail comes off the foot from the back of the wraps.
