Technique

  1. Start in an L-base with the flyer standing over the base’s head, facing the base’s feet.
  2. The base extends the arms in front of the face and makes a 90-degree angle at the legs.
  3. One leg at a time, the flyer places a shin into each of the base’s hands while holding the base’s shins just below the knees.
  4. Both partners are now at a 90-degree angle in the legs, with the flyer hinged at the hips.
  5. Once stable, the base and flyer both extend adjacent arms and legs together, keeping the same sides moving in parallel.
  6. To exit, slowly reverse back to the 90-degree position and the flyer steps down one leg at a time.
