This variation is generally considered destructive.

 

The foot maneuver sequence of Prance of the Tiger is modified. This variation is accomplished by executing the foot maneuver as a modified crossover (traveling) maneuver, rather than a switching (non-traveling) maneuver. There typically is no rationale for this variation and usually arises due to a lack of information.

 

Rationale Against

Executing the foot maneuver as a crossover eliminates inter-form and intra-form relationships. In this specific case, executing the foot maneuver as a hopping switch provides not only relationships within this form, but also between previous and future forms. Also, executing the foot maneuver in this manner allows for better visualization of these relationships (from both an observer's and the practitioner's perspective), and for the practitioner to more easily understand / be constantly reminded of these relationships between forms.
