MLS Trixey does walkover. LS Trixey jumps and lands in splits. Various rolling about on the floor and more backbends and splits. Trix lies on the floor holding both feet up over her head. MCU front view from floor just in front of Trixey lying on stomach (or hip bones) as she holds her feet up on either side of her head.
