    oh my, this choreography is amazing compared to her last one! i just wish she’d control her wrist/forearm movements so as to not look so abrupt/spastic. her lines, her toe point, everything is just beautiful!

      Her arms/wrists always remind me of Shannon Miller.. Like a constant exclamation point. It works sometimes.. Other times I wish it were softer and floatier (if that makes sense) lol

      I mean I guess you could say that, but to me upgrades are upgrades from where her current routine is at. But besides the double layout, she hopes to move her full/twisting double pike into her third pass where her regular double pike is! But yeah I’m just looking forwards to those upgrades/improvements.

      I love Eythora, bless her. But, I do cringe when she performs floor because she will do all of this elaborate dancing and then fall on 1-2 of her passes. The package is not a complete one and not a good comparison example to Riley, unless you want to compare fall averages on floor.
