Technique

  1. L-base to start, with the elbows bent so the hands are ready for the flyer's feet.
  2. Holding the base's feet for support, the flyer steps into the base's hands. The base can use a C-grip or a Hand-to-hand grip on the feet.
  3. The base extends the arms while the flyer pushes into the base's feet and hinges at the hips.
  4. To exit, the base bends the elbows to lower the flyer, and the flyer steps off one foot at a time, being careful not to step on the base's head.

Form tips

  1. The base squeezes the elbows into the sides for more support.
  2. In a hand-to-hand grip, the base pushes through the pointer and middle fingers and uses the thumb and other fingers on the outside of the foot as support.
  3. The flyer pretends to wear high heels, raising the heels and pushing through the balls of the feet.
  4. The flyer "pours" the weight straight down into the base's feet and does not push out of alignment.
