"10 Tips to help fliers in pyramids”
Fliers are the showmanship of the pyramid. They are the ones that everyone focuses on when a pyramid goes up. Here are some tips for fliers in pyramids:
1. Stay tight - You have to remain tight when you are up in any pyramid. It makes it easier for the bases to hold youand adjustments can be made if necessary.
2. Hold position - Don't loose your position. If something doesn't feel right, don't bale out of position. This will make things much worse and could cause the pyramid to fall.
3. Squeeze to adjust - If you need to make an adjustment, SQUEEZE to position. This will cause little movement and make it easier on the pyramid.
4. Watch your movements - When pulling stretches, hitches, etc. you must make sure you don't jerk your foot up. It has to be a subtle lift. Especially with stretches, fliers want to yank their foot up because of the lack of flexibility and stregnth.
5. Stretch beforehand - Always stretch before the pyramid. Your body will be doing a lot in terms of flexing, squeeze, stretching, and in case you fall it will deter some injuries.
7. Practice beforehand - Practice your part with the middle layers and bases before the pyramid goes up. This way you feel more comfortable in the air.
8. Understand - Understand all the parts of the pyramid, and know what might happen.
9. Know where your spotter are - If you fall you need to be aware of where your spotters are, just in case something drastic happens.
10. Dismount - Know your dismount. It will eliminate time in which your bases will have to hold the pyramid while you figure out how to dismount.
