31. • Full Elevator or Full Extensions
The two bases will stand facing each other, there hands
cupped for the flyer's foot. The flyer will place her hands on
the bases shoulders, standing up-right so that she can fully push
off their shoulders into their hands. The back-spot will stand
behind the flyer with her hands on the flyer's hips/waist area.
The flyer will prep, tucking her knees to her chest, keeping her
back straight, and place her feet in the base's hands. The bases
will then push with their legs and straighten their arms above
their heads, locking out their elbows. The flyer will "ride" their
push into the position, and then hit her motion. The back-spot
has to follow the flyer's legs up as high as she can, grabbing the
flyer's ankles, or the base's wrists.

33. • Liberties
One legged stunts are preformed differently than two
legged. The flyer stands with one leg up, prepped to be
grabbed. The main base will grab the heel and toe of that
foot. The secondary base grabs the middle of the flyer's
foot, and underneath the hand that has the flyer's toe-for a
little extra push. The back-spot will squat below the flyer,
placing one hand on her rear, and one on her ankle. The bases
need to remember to push through their legs and not from
their backs. On a pre-determined count everyone will dip, the
bases pushing through their legs and straightening their
arms. The flyer will hit her desired motion with her free
flying foot, and the spot will push up through the flyer's
bottom and hold on to her ankle to keep it steady. The bases
lock out their elbows and stand "kissably close". All other one
legged stunts are preformed in this fashion.

35. • Suicide
-They are performed mostly the same way that you would a
heel stretch, lib or scorpion. The flyer must have excellent
balance to perform the stunt which is to jump and rotate in the
air. They are illegal in high school levels, and can only be
preformed by colleges.

bases, one backspot and one flyer.

the middle flyer go back down.
4. Wait a little and have the middle flyer jump up hard.
