Remember, so many different names for all these different moves. We're going to do that little hand glide, and then we're going to go right into a windmill position. Here we are. Tabletop, once we put our hand here, we're going to use the momentum to spin on this part of our hand, and slowly go onto our shoulder. Check it out. Here we spin, shoulder, onto our back.
