BACKWARD
Streetsweeper [Detail] Cone: 2 | DoD: ?.?
Alternating spinning wavy backstab. Like an AC Wave with alternating 270s thrown in. You can come at it from two ways: AC Wave or overrotated B-F grapevine transition. Originally, I came at it from the latter (I found it easier. Besides, it started as a mistake, "transition, oops overrotation, oh no, wait, hey, it's a trick!").

From grapevine:
This is a wavy (or out of phase) grapevine, mind you. Initiate backcross, go over cone, uncross and spin as if going to forward cross. Don't stall and go into forward cross; let the momentum spin you till your back is to the cone and initiate backcross leading other foot.

From AC Wave:
Let your upper body translate across the course instead of keeping your head over the courseline. Before carving back to the course (or as you do it), spin leading with the foot you just did the backcross with. After the 270, initiate the cross with the other foot and continue back over the next cone.
Invented by Brodie Hynes in 1997.

Cone 1: BCLR, travelling from right to left.
Transition: 270 CCW
Cone 2: BCLL, travelling from left to right.
Transition: 270 CW
Cone 3: As cone 1. (WRR)

Make it unnatural (have downcourse leg lead). Throw in more spins. Go up course, a la the pearlstitch. Spin opposite. Spin opposite on unnatural. My, there are more than I expected.
