You
need 7 people (3 fliers and 4 bases)
Start
with 2 couples on the outside and half of a table in the middle. The table portion of the pyramid consists
of a back base, a front base, and a base flier. The flier will start in the middle and
grab a thumb to thumb grip with the front base who
has his back to the flier. The front
base places his right foot back and keeps his arms slightly bent, so the
base flier can reach his arms. The
back base bends down to grab the ankles of the base flier. On count the base flier jumps, the back
base lifts the base flier up, and the front base steps back on his right
leg and stands up while at the same time locking his arms. The base flier keeps her legs locked all
times after she jumps, bends at the waist, and pushes through the front
base in front to make a table. Now
the 2 couples should have started slightly behind the back base. They will toss hands, hit liberties, and
hitch to the mid-back of the base flier.
Make sure that all of the top fliers’ weight is on the standing leg
and not the hitching leg. The hitch
is just and effect. If you put too
much weight in the base flier, then the pyramid will fall.
