Thigh stand

Technique

1. Start standing, facing each other and gripping at the elbows, with one of the flyer's feet on the base's adjacent thigh.
2. After a Tempo , the flyer steps onto the base's thigh and places the second foot on the other thigh, while the base sinks into a squat.
3. Slide the hands to an interlocking wrist grip while both partners lean back to counterbalance each other's weight.
4. To exit, both return to the midline and the flyer steps down.

Form tips

1. The base bends the knees to 90 degrees to create a flat shelf for the flyer to stand on.
2. The base squats at the same time as the flyer steps up, so both partners hold each other's weight.
