I'm currently working on my Shoulder Mounts and can comfortably do a Shoulder V but I'd like some suggestions on moves you can go into from a Shoulder Mount. At the moment I just go straight into an inverted crucifix because it just feels natural (and safest!) to go into. Any ways/tips/suggestions to link Shoulder Mounts to other moves would be great!

I learned shoulder mount into brass monkey (what Veena calls inverted back hook). It's actually the only way I can get into brass monkey at the moment. Instead of bringing your legs straight up to inverted crucifix, bring them to one side of the pole (like you were going to do a shoulder mount flip to the floor) except hook the inside leg at the knee pit. Once you have the knee pit hold, you can release your hands and reposition your body into brass monkey.
Here is a vid of a move from SM I learned in an Aerial Amy workshop. It's super fun! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52085d84-d1cc-4fe5-9634-08ad0ac37250
I like to go into interved thigh hold.
To outside leg hang or Marley.
Thanks! Will start working on linking moves and combos!
