pics continued (sorry to anyone else for taking up this thread lol!)
lib/liberty (again can have a front spot but not compulsory)
you can do other stretches in this stunt/position apart from a lib, such as scorpians, scales, bow and arrows, arabesques, heel stretches etc but we dont do those yet as my housemate is the only flyer in our squad flexible enough to do those positions! the website below has pics of them though)
shoulder sit (we usually do handstand into shoulder sit where the flyer does a handstand against the bases back, the base holds the flyers leg over her shoulders and the flyer pulls herself up using her stomach muscles into the shoulder sit)
deadman (couldnt find a pic of a deadman but basically the flyer is lying flat on their back and the bases, backspot and front spot are holding the flyer up from underneath so the flyer is lying on their hands; to extend it, everyone apart from the flyer straightens their arms so the flyer is above them)
chair (we started learning this at the end of last term but found we werent strong enough to do it lol! one of the american footballers managed to do it though! so we are now doing an assisted chair which is the same as the pic but there is an extra person helping the base get the flyer in the air by holding onto their wrist of the hand which is under the flyers bum)
cradle (cant really describe this with words/pics but the website below has a video of one, scroll down til you get to "cradle" theyre in alphabetical order! although the bases shouldnt be moving around when you do a cradle, you should stay standing where you were at the beginning) - hope im allowed to post this link
