1½ Pirouette Return

Trick ID: 124

Description

From swinging in the catcher's arms, sweep back with your legs and rise into a set (like a normal swing) and let go and make a one and a half twist before catching your bar. You may find it helps to initiate the twist with open legs, closing them as you turn to accelerate the twist.
