Tricks / 3D sun to armstall (frontwrap/backwrapp???)

« on: May 14, 2008, 04:36:21 AM »

So, whenever I've seen this trick, I thought that the concept was similar to a 2d sun to armstall.  In 2d sun to armstall, I always end up in a "frontwrap," with the string lying across my forearm.  essentially, Im good to go for vortexing out or going into fan, etc.

I've always thought that it was the same concept with 3D, but recently, I've noticed that ppl end up in a "backwrap," with the string in their hand instead of on their forearm so they can do a regular speedpull or w/e to exit it. 

How does this work???
