The Roll Across the Back transition on Aerial Hoop is a very direct pathway between lion variations and perhaps a little bit of a mind boggling aerial theory moment. The transition can be used to go from a Front Lion to a Back Lion or from a Back Lion to a Front Lion. These transitions will often put us in slightly different placement than the classic lion shape so it is important that students are very familiar with both lion variations and the variety of exits and entrances.
