This Trapdoor variation follows the familiar pathway from Reverse Bird to Back Bird, but changes the route back to Reverse Bird.
Instead of returning through Low Foot-to-Hand as in the original Trapdoor, the flyer passes through Straddle Bat. The pose is not held as a separate position; the movement continues smoothly through it, using Straddle Bat as a natural part of the pathway back into Reverse Bird.
This alternative route keeps the basic structure of the Trapdoor while giving the return movement a different shape and flow.
