Linear Action But anything [C1V]: Do a Linear Action but replace the Centers Cast Off 3/4 with the Centers doing the anything call.

Linear Action But Cross It [C4]: Do a Linear Action but after the Centers Box Circulate 1 & 1/2, do a Very Centers Slither and then complete the call.

Linear Cycle [Plus] (Dave Hodson and Lee Kopman 1979): From a Wave or applicable Line of 4. Hinge; Leaders Fold behind Trailers (who do not adjust); Any Shoulder Double Pass Thru; Peel Off in direction of Shoulder Pass to end in Facing Couples. This is a 4-part call. From a Wave, Linear Cycle is similar to Recycle And Sweep 1/4.
