I have never seen a meaningful trick with only a flyer in this position? And you? After all, there are a few who show amazing skills in this position with 2 flyers … Well … everyone ist creating his limits himself 😉
Kategorie: lying on the side or on the belly
Lying on your belly, like a crocodile, or rolling over on the side may be aesthetically pleasing at a slender base. I always feel like a walrus, which is why I usually press myself against this position … Presumably, only the one-armed abdomen pilot of the flyer (→ crocodile) is similarly uncomfortable. Due to the fact that the base does not see the flyer well, the entry-level of this position is not for beginners! Here is a video from StreetsUnited, which shows from 3:40, which possibilities this position could offer …
Balancing on one-arm with the elbow on the ground requires a very precise perception of the base for the correct force line, otherwise it will shear off very quickly. What should not be underestimated also at this altitude. Therefore and also because the view to the flyer is very limited, the one-armed is shored in both positions. However, special attention is always on the stability of the wrist, so the flyer does not have to stand uphill. 1. Lying sideways, the forearm is leaning at the back of the back and 2. Lying on the stomach, the hand shore itself […]
A position with considerable risk, as the base does not see the flyer → Safety. For tricks like the Chinese roll (= spring roll, ..) I advise the base to wear a long T-shirt to prevent a mat burn on the elbows. This lateral position is neither easy to reach for the flyer nor the base. The base must stabilize the lower arm at the back of his back and the wrist should not become flatten when loaded. If necessary, he may also shore up the wrist on the back. For the flyer, the differently long arms of the base […]
Maximum stability in this position would be if the heels are pulled all the way to the po, but then the angle of the feet is no longer suitable for the balance. It is important to find a good compromise. The back is always under tension … no position for having a rest. The possibilities in this position are very limited, since even small shearing forces mean the end of the trick. The base can not help in case of a crash. It makes sense to initially balance in this position only a lying flyer. This position looks very nice […]
