Start with 2
elevators with 1 standing behind the other. The elevator in
front does not have backspot.
Now
have the flier
in the tossing elevator (the back elevator) grab a thumb
to thumb grip with the post elevator (elevator in front) in front of
her.
Flier in tossing elevator -
Stay as tight as possible. On count wait for the dip of your bases.
As they come up do not jump, but gently begin putting weight into the
post in front of you by using the muscles in your shoulders. To
continue the leapfrog lift your knees up to your chest, slightly lean
forward, keep your chest up (but slightly forward), and tuck your legs
to your chest on your way up and over . As you come over bring your
legs down a little, keep your legs at shoulder width, and do not try
to place your feet. The bases will grab then when you come over.
As the bases grab your feet still resist through the posting flier's
hands who is now behind you. As you bases come up to an elevator
position shrug through your shoulders, lift up with your chest, hollow
out through your stomach, lift your chin up, and finish with a
Hi-V.
Posting
flier-
Grab a thumb to thumb grip with the flier in back of you, and keep your elbows bent. As she
is thrown over, straighten your arms, and resist the flier as she is
thrown over you. Follow her over and assist her to your front.
When the base catch the feet, continue to assist the flier and help
her up in to the elevator.
Bases
of tossing elevator - On count dip with your legs and watch one
another for timing issues. Give the flier a little toss up and follow
her as you both make your way around to the front. Make sure your arms
are up at all times. Now reach high for the corresponding
flier's feet and absorb the momentum as she comes down. Now watch each
other, stand up, and bring the flier's feet to your shoulders and end
in an elevator grip. |
