Stunting





Scorpion 


One or more bases holds up the flyer by the right foot and the flyer balances weight on that right straight leg. The flyer then grabs the loose foot and bends that leg upward behind the body until the toes are close to the back of the head, in a position resembling a scorpion's tail. The foot is secured in place by the opposite hand. A more advanced variation of the scorpion is the "Chin-hold," where the flyer tucks her foot underneath her own chin and holds



Liberty (Lib) 

 

One or more bases holds up the flyer by the standing foot (usually the right foot) and the flyer balances weight on the standing leg. The flyer's other leg is bent with the foot nestled alongside the standing leg's knee. The name of this stunt is often shortened to 'Lib'.
 
 
 
 
 
Scale 
 
One or more bases extend right foot. The flyer's other leg is held by his/her hand to the side and the leg is fully extended. The position is similar to the Scorpion, but one of the flyer's hands holds her ankle or calf (instead of her toes) and the other arm is in the High V position. Sometimes also called a 6 o'clock, or needle.


Heel Stretch 
 
It is a stunt in which the base/bases holds one foot of the flyer while she holds the other foot in her hand and brings it beside her head.



Arabesque 
 
From a lib, the flyer points their leg out behind them and their arms are in a "T" position.
