I found decelerating from #10-#11 and moving laterally into a rear cross at #11-#12 to be very effective. Shown in Figure 6b, doing a rear cross from #9 to #10 probably limits the handler to the send to #11 and a rear cross at #11-#12. March 09 | Clean Run The handler starting from a position farther behind #10-#11 may find it difficult to execute the rear cross without prompting an off-course after #12 due to the angle of jump #11. This angle eliminates the handler’s ability to show deceleration while moving into the second rear cross and increases the difficulty of cueing the turn in a timely fashion. Most handlers will opt to turn their 81
