I like the "scoops" term. Much better than my last teacher who called it "infinity" because the 8 figure your tracing looks like an infinity symbol. I felt like saying, "Don't all 8's look like infinity symbols? so technically this term could even be used for horizonal or flat figure 8's."
And I think I usually raise my heel in a Maya too - not that I'm the best example of good technique.
