Parkour/free running gesture
I watched some youtube vids of parkour, and tried my best to notate the motion as well as the frozen gesture. Videos are awesome, cause you can see the context of the whole action, then go back and freeze to sketch.
You guys in animation probably have a better system for stuff like this, but I sort of settled on purple for trajectory through the air, and green for rotation. If there's no green, there's no spin/rotation.
I've got a whole long list of activities to pick apart in gesture at some point. Thank goodness for people who post their stuff on youtube!
BMX biking
Ballet
Break dancing
Capoeira
Figure skating
Flamenco dance
Martial arts
Skateboard stunts
High dive
Hula
And so forth
