Description

This transition is a safe and controlled way to get to the Sitting on Shoulders pose. The base pulls the flyer from the wide counterbalance to the center, ducks slowly with the head between the legs of the flyer and stands up with the flyer on the shoulders.

Flyer

Stay upright with your upper body and open the legs a bit to the side so that the base can bring the head in between your legs.

Base

  • Make slow and controlled movements.
  • Don't sit to deep.

Spotting

Stand sideways to the base and spot the upper arms of the flyer.
