that is a really cool move:) i hope to incorporate that trick into some of my routeins:) this video help me kinda figure it out gonna try it when i wae up in the morning:) hoping for the best:)
oh hallelujah!! you are a doll for posting HOW to do this - i spent many many times alone after practices when my guardies left (so i could fail alone...haha) you ROCK!! thanks very much. I have always loved this trick. =D
Kat, it took me a LONG time to get this move. It's easier to do with a longer pole, and no, height has nothing to do with it. Make sure you're placing the center of the flag right between your shoulder blades before you let it go.
I am not trying to be smart or anything, but you said you had comments for girls with a chest having trouble with it. I just went out and learned this, and the trick it when it rolls around to the front, you have to get it between your girls. Like no lie, that's what you have to do. Hope it helps! :)
My coach has been trying to figure out how to do this for a while now, and I just so happened to find your How To video. Thanks for posting it. Sure it will help us!
Hi Adam. One of my girls is scared to do any type of tosses with her flag. She has done them before but she got hit in the face and she's scared to do any. Any advice?
I love this move! My guard instructor said none of her guards have been able to do this till I got it and now our whole corps can do it. Thanks Glare Head! :D
i have a flag i bought at my local spike's store it just a regular flag you can put outside that replaced a flag i ripped that i got offline and i just did it with it :) the shear of the flag is alot worse than regular show flag but i have one on its way and i hope i can do it smoother wih it:)
Thank you so much!! Your videos are a lot of help 💖 it helps a lot when you record with your back facing the camera, a lot of colorgaurd videos don't do that, so thank you so much 😊😊
Hi there, i'm on a Tuna, Tunideos (we're a musical group on Portugal), you can see on my channel if you like. I would like to know how much does your flag weight.
Glarehead I need your help! I've been trying this with my 6-foot pole and the flag loses momentum by the time it gets around my neck... so I end up having to turn around so that it can get all the way down... any suggestions?
Blisspoetry If it's losing momentum, make sure you're bending forward far enough when the tape (middle) part of the flag hits between your shoulder blades. Look carefully at :40 of the video, that's where you build the momentum, and if you don't place the flag correctly and bend over far enough, you'll lose that momentum. Thanks for watching!
i have been trying to learn this move for the longest time!!!!!! quick question... when you place the flag on your back, is that a flatback? how much are you bending over?
So i watched this at about 12 at night and ended up going outside and practicing it, it was so misty and foggy outside that my flag ended up soaked and I came inside XD
that is a really cool move:) i hope to incorporate that trick into some of my routeins:) this video help me kinda figure it out gonna try it when i wae up in the morning:) hoping for the best:)
We did this in '90 and '91 also.
I can do the beginning but when it come to the neck part. I suck. But if I get it around my body I always catch it wrong. :(

I tried... I failed... I'll get it soon...
I love this! You're a great teacher!
Oh my gosh
Thanks so much for this tutorial! :D I saw your video where you showed the trick and I told myself I had to learn it. It's so much fun to do!
+Gircrochet You're very welcome! When I first saw this performed by the San Marino Academy, I wanted to learn how to do it too!
So i'm doing a pageant, and guard has always and will forever be my talent, is it okay, if i use some of your moves in my routine??
AND, you need to get your hips into it more, so you don't look so jerky. :)
Thank You!!!!!
that trick wasnt being my friend i still can not figure it out :(
Meee 😂
thank you so much! i love this haha its so helpful!!! :D
i try it but somethings wrong lol
I have been looking everywhere trying to find something that can teach me how to do this! Thank you XD!
***** Glad I could help.
thanks for the info cuz me and my friend canm now do it were soo happy
Is there a way you can have two silks in one pole and have one hidden? So it can be ripped away in a solo or something?
Does anyone know how I can go straight into an illusion from this??? PLEASE HELP!!!
Omg the first time i did this the flag flew across the gym and i got yelled at :(
I must practice this....with a broom
I recommend that you use a color guard flag, I imagine it would be a LOT easier. ;)

glarehead Ahhhhh I see.... I'll give it another shot. I'll let you know what happens! Thanks for responding!
After trying for over an hour i still cant get it. Does height have something to do with it?? I dont know what im doing wrong
Congratulations! Post a reply video!
Okay, think I got the mechanics of it... doing it is another thing :P
i have been trying to learn this move for the longest time!!!!!!
quick question... when you place the flag on your back, is that a flatback? how much are you bending over?
How do you do that flourish
Start at a shoulder/hip angle, send the flag forward and down with a loose wrist to create momentum. Good luck!
our flourishes are different and i cant seem to figure this out
Which part of the video exactly?
what the poo that’s so cool
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
So i watched this at about 12 at night and ended up going outside and practicing it, it was so misty and foggy outside that my flag ended up soaked and I came inside XD
Did you get it?
Yes I did :)
i got it about the 5th try!!
