I am looking for some dances with push-back or
ricochet heys.
Mark Goodwin's written an interesting one called "Playground."
I think he posted it to trad-dance-callers.
Martha Wild's written several dances in this vein.
I've written one, working with using the momentum of the
ricochet. (And having the other person help direct it.)
Double Cat Bounce

Improper
A1 Neighbor balance
Neighbor swing
A2 Half ricochet hey (ML, PR, W ricochet)
Partner swing [*1]
B1 Ladies chain
Half ricochet hey (WR, NL, M ricochet) [*2]
B2 Circle right 3/4
Neighbor allemande left 1 & 1/2
[* 1] While it's possible and nifty for the man to scoop up his
partner into the swing, the woman needs to be aware of her left elbow
and arm, specifically the location of her elbow relative to her
partner's jawbone.
[* 2] After looping around, women assist their partners into a circle right.
