Unhook one foot and present shin to the base	Lower the flyer slightly and take the ankle of the unhooked leg of the flyer in one hand and the knee in the other hand. Make sure the shin is parallel to the short edge of the mat.	Stay close to the flyer and adjust position when flyer is moving
Shift weight onto the other side where foot is still at the thigh	Keep the arms straight and offer a stable platform for the flyer
As soon as the foot of the base is placed at the other leg, hook the foot on this leg to the back	Remove the foot at the unhooked leg and place it on the other leg. The foot should be placed either slightly closer to the flyer's pelvis or further away taking more or less the position of the already placed foot. Either way, the toes of the newly placed foot will be pointing the other way as the foot which is already on the leg.
Shift weight onto the other side where the foot has been placed and is hooked around the leg of the base	Release the second foot and place it - toes pointing outside - on the other thigh
As soon as second foot is placed, hook the foot to the back of the leg of the base and sit upright	Help flyer to hook the foot by moving it to the inside of your calf
