[Hide Comment] Are you talking about the starting jugs or the final jugs? There really isn't a way to avoid the final jug. Jul 29, 2011

[Hide Comment] Short (5'2'', -2'') girl beta: youtu.be/uLksezLDiQk. Since I have short wingspan, the key for me at the crux(after getting the knee bar) is to keep bumping right hand until I hit the best spot with thumb catch. If I try to cross too early, I will certainly fall. Nov 29, 2021
