  2. Hi, thank you for your comment! Actually, the "three basic positions" is the feature everyone gets while doing any combo spin. It implies doing at least three rotations on any basic position, no matter the specific one but you should do all sit, camel and upright and you should do them on both feet. Every combo spin has this feature, as it is quite simple fir athletes to get it done and that's why you can easely find it in every program of every international competition

    2. It's a catch-foot layback, or a layback Biellmann. Sometimes called a "pearl" spin.
