## Technique
1. Start in an L-base with the flyer standing at the base's feet, facing away from the base.
2. The base places the feet around the flyer's sacrum and the flyer leans back, weighting the base's feet.
3. Once the partners can see each other's faces, the base turns the toes outward and the flyer moves into a straddle-pike, bringing the head towards the base's waist so the base can catch the flyer in the Hip pockets.
4. The flyer bends the knees and brings the feet together, then extends the knees while holding their own ankles.
5. The base places the hands around the flyer's upper arms. Once stable, the base takes one foot at a time out of the hip pockets, then lowers the feet so the flyer balances entirely on the base's hands.
## Form tips
* If this entry is too challenging, work the Straddle bat first as a progression.
* The base adducts the legs to stay in their stack and keep the legs strong.
* The flyer engages the Core so hard that it feels like a Crunch.
* Hand placement varies between pairs, but aim for the lower deltoid and upper biceps of the flyer.
* Communicate constantly so both partners stay on the same page.
