Trapdoor
A reverse-bird washing machine: Reverse Bird, vertical pass, Back Bird, Foot to Hands, and return.
Trapdoor
Why it matters
Trapdoor is not Ninja Bats with different perfume.
Do not make it a sidestar detour just because the body got confused.
Real Trapdoor has a door.
You start in Reverse Bird.
You pass the flyer through the vertical.
The flyer stays vertical around the base leg like the portal is trying to eat them.
You arrive in Back Bird.
You pass through Foot to Hands.
Then the machine returns to the initial Reverse Bird.
That is the sentence.
Important cue: do not literally hug or trap the base leg with the flyer arm.
The flyer needs a clean vertical pass. If the arm gets trapped, the door stops being a door and becomes a problem.
What it is
Trapdoor is a reverse-bird washing machine.
It teaches vertical rotation, trust through inversion, and the difference between a named machine and a random escape route.
