Description

Base

  • Place your feet as close as possible to the hips of the flyer with the toes slightly outward rotated. (this makes it easier for the flyer).
  • Bend your knees until you feel the flyers weight and receive the flyer with you hands supporting on the shoulder.
  • Hold your legs in a 90° angle to your upper body (ankles are exactly above your hips).

Flyer

  • Begin straight and lean with your hip against the bases feet.
  • Pike your hips to about a 90° angle (bring your toes towards your ears).
  • Relax your upper body (let it hang down).

Spotter

  • Stand behind the legs of the base.
  • Spot the hips of the flyer (both hands under the legs, so you can catch the flyer if the base collapses).
