Start with an
Elevator Extension as explained on page 20.
Flier-
Waite for
your bases dip. On the count of READY, 1, 2 you want to think DOWN, UP
right away as if you were saying READY 1, 2, DOWN, UP. This will give
you your timing and help you ride your pop. Now for fulldown: Use the
count of the word DOWN to drop you shoulders slightly so that on the
word UP you think about lifting up with your shoulders and your chest.
Right after you lift, cross your arms across your body (ARMS STRAIGHT)
to the left, tuck your chin to your left shoulder, kick your left heel
slightly behind, and bump your right hip up to initiate your fulldown.
Remember to keep your legs straight and together as you spin. As you
begin to come around look to the front, open up, and squeeze your abs
to stop your rotation. Pike your legs up to a cradle position then
grab you bases with both arms firmly around their head/shoulders to
assist with the catch.
Back spot-
Start with your hands on the flier’s ankles. On count after the bases
dip, go with the flier’s spin by pushing her right foot slightly
forward and bring her left foot slightly back. After the throw, leave
your arms up in fists. As she comes down hook under the flier’s
armpits and squeeze her into your for the cradle.
TIP: if you cannot
reach the ankles, then grab the bases’ wrists.
Right Base
–Keep your arms locked. Dip with you legs and pop with your
shoulders. Pop the flier off of your hands by pushing the flier’s
right foot to your right. Just go with the flier’s spin and do not
fight her rotation. Leave your hands up then catch high and absorb
with your legs for the cradle
