Description

Base 

  • Keep your arms straight above your shoulders.
  • Point your hands slightly up (the angle depends on the preference of base and flyer).
  • Keep strong wrists.
  • Sink your shoulders into the floor.

Flyer 

  • From the straight handstand come to a tuck position and start to roll further.
  • Try to control you position and balance as long as possible and make yourself small
  • Go a little bit over the shoulders to make the roll through easier.
  • Keep open hands (try not to squeeze).
  • Divide the weight equally over the palm of the hand (it helps to think of the weight going to the top of the palm).

Spotter 

  • Stand on the side.
  • Spot the shoulders and the hips of the flyer.
  • Push the shoulders of the flyer back if the flyer closes the shoulders too much.
  • Keep your hands underneath the armpit of the flyer.
