Bases should begin as if they are holding the stunt at shoulder level already. Their feet should be shoulder width apart, and from this position they should squat down using their legs and keeping their backs straight. No moving of their feet should take place at this time or any other time during the stunt. Elbows should be kept tucked into the body, and hands should be held together. The top person (Flyer) should then "load-in" the stunt using her shoulders to hold her own weight. Her hands should be placed on her side bases shoulders, and then she should take one hop and jump in. Her feet should be kept together and placed into her bases hands while she uses her arms to push her own weight up, and she should immediately stand up and lock her body into position as quick as possible. At no time should her hips drop below her ankles when loading-in. While the flyer loads-in and the bases dip they should then use their shoulders and legs to push the flyer up and over their heads. Doing this will allow them to rotate their hand position from a pinky-to-pinky position to a palm-to-palm position. It is important that bases use their hands to cover as much of the flyers foot as possible; this will let them manipulate a stunt, and have better control over it. The flyers entire foot should be supported from toe to heel. Once the bases hands are rotated and they have brought the flyer above their heads they should begin to bring her back down to a shoulder level position. This process is called "settling" or to "settle." This should all be done in one smooth motion never stopping at any point until the flyer is brought down to shoulder level. Once the stunt is shoulder level the stunt is complete.

    Here are some helpful tips and highlights to keep your stunt looking great at all times. I even broke them down individually for you to follow. Even though some squads choose to utilize a front spotter, not all have this option. I have left this part out due to not everyone using them. However if you do her main job should be to equalize any problems the stunt may be having such as weight distribution and so forth.
