Tumbleweed

Why it matters

Tumbleweed is not random rolling.

It is Star, Back Bird, Foot to Hands, and Star again — a loop with a spine.

The flyer travels.
The base reads.
The machine returns.

What it is

Tumbleweed is a star-family washing machine.

The clean map:

  1. Star.
  2. Back Bird / Back Plank pathway.
  3. Foot to Hands.
  4. Return to Star.

Core loop

About “reverse”

Legacy sources may call the opposite direction Reverse Tumbleweed.

For TheAcroGuru graph, use:

  • Reverse Tumbleweed as the known legacy/search term.
  • Rewind Tumbleweed when we mean the same machine going the opposite way.
  • Reverse Bird only for the actual pose orientation.

Guru taxonomy: names should reduce confusion, not decorate it.

Incoming

  • Star
  • star-family setup
  • intermediate inversion route

Entry

Start from Star.

Do not start the machine if Star is still negotiation.

Exit

  • back to Star
  • reset to safe inversion
  • continue into star-family route

Goes to

What breaks

  • Star is weak before the machine begins
  • flyer rushes the roll
  • base loses the F2H pathway / Back Bird pass back up to Star
  • reverse / rewind direction is not named
  • pair forgets the loop must come home

Field notes

A tumbleweed that cannot return is just debris.
