This balance is relatively easy as long as the flyer is stabilized (e.g., sideways flyer or shoulderstand) or by the other hand of the base (e.g., cross-breaker at the leg or knot handstand at the upper arm). However, the balance without some form of stabilization becomes difficult. The entrance usually takes place via one of the stabilized positions … which are already manageable by advanced bases. Without picking up the residual weight from the stabilizing arm, this balance starts extremely shaky. If you have not automated the pick-up, you should practice it again with simpler positions (for example, with lying […]

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 […]
There are 2 contact points within the libra. One is on pressure, the other one is pulling. So pretty much any position is possible where base and flyers can get hooked with hand or foot. The flyer will not kept in the center of gravity and balanced. The pressure-contact point is mechanically seen an axis of rotation, via which the flyer is held in the air by means of a lever. The resulting shear forces are desirable and necessary, but should remain smooth! The weight of the flyer must be balanced with a corresponding counterweight from the base via this […]
The tubular bones of the birds are known to be extremely stable against shearing forces. After all, cannons were built according to this principle. In comparison, however, the best base is as stable as a straw. In favor the flyer on the base does not really have to be able to balance himself. In the best case, a flyer can do both, mostly it’s better for the base to get the control, especially if the flyer has reached the shape and weight of an adult. In sports acrobatics, the difference in size between partners rightly enters into the scoring. Useful […]
