Description

Base

• Breathe out and extend the arms a little to give a pre-tempo (2).
• During bending the arms breath in and give a resistance to the flyer, so the it does not feel like jumping to a hole (3-5).
• In the moment when the flyers up-movement is the fastest start extending the arms to extend the jump of the flyer. It should feel light... ;-)
• Extend the arms with smooth and constant speed. Don't stop the movement.
• Lock your arms and keep them engaged, so that it feels like two columns to the flyer.
• Hold a 45° angle in your wrists.

Flyer

• Slowly bend your legs together with the tempo of the base. Bring your knees in front and keep the pressure in the hands. (2-5). 
• From the lowest point start slowly to extend the legs  gradually increases the speed (crescendo).
• Bring the shoulders a bit forward. Jump up and not down or to the front and start rolling (6).
• Bring your legs to a closed tuck position (7-8).
• Come to your handstand position (9).
• Hold a 45° angle in your wrists.
• Open your shoulders to 180°, but don’t arch your back.
• Don’t balance.

Spotter

• Stand at the back of the flyer.
• Spot the shoulders and the hips of the flyer.
• Push the hips of the flyer back if the flyer closes the shoulders too much.
• Bring the flyer safely to the floor by guiding/holding the hips or thighs.
