Flyer Base Spotter
Start standing at Bases head facing your Base. Flyer stands at your head, you connect hands in peace-finger-grip and Flyer walks to one side of your hips, hands now automatically crossed in the right way. Stand behind Fyler in goddess pose.
Connect hands in peace-finger-grip and walk around to one hip of the Base so that your arms are crossed now. Place your foot on Flyers hip, have your arms loose, supporting but not limiting or blocking Flyer’s arms. Cross your arms and spot Flyer’s hips, uncrossing arms as Flyer reaches Straddle Bat position.
Stand side ways to Base and let Base position one Foot on your hip. Let Flyer lean in and push up the moment Flyer’s weight is in axis. Catch Fyler with the other foot on other hip coming to straddle bat pose. Spot Flyers hips following the movement in tic toc from behind.
Lean in (like in Half-moon pose in Yoga) not jumping but leaning and lifting the leg further away from your Base. Initiate the movement by bending one leg slightly to help Flyer up, straightening it again once Flyer is on and pushing into the opposite arm. Spot shoulders and hips when Flyer reaches reversed Bird and go back to spotting hips from behind when Flyer is in tic toc again.
Push into the arms and come down into straddle bat pose moving your legs like a helicopter and not like rainbow, pike a lot once you arrive in the pose. Once Flyer is up in tic toc pose, try keeping your leg in the center. Step behind Base to spot Flyers hips when coming back to straddle bat.
Let Base initiate the tic toc movement by lowering down one foot. Push into the opposite hand and slowly come up into a tic toc pose. Reconnect hands behind your leg and start rotating Flyer as far inside as possible, straight arms.
Gaze is directed forwards and up, arms are straight, core engaged and lower leg heavy. Catch Flyer in reversed bird with your other Foot on the other hip toes inside.
Reconnect one hand behind Base’s leg. Let Flyer shift weight, reconnect hands in front of your Leg and keep arms straight.
Base will turn you into reversed bird while you keep your gaze up, body engaged arms straight. Rotate Flyer and catch Flyer back in Straddle bat.
Once you feel the second foot on your other hip put all your weight into the new foot and come into a tic toc on this foot, again arms straight, lower leg heavy, gaze up, core engaged.
Reconnect hands before Bases leg and come back down into straddle bat controlled by pushing into hands.
