Last night we worked on this duo move where the base is sitting and the flyer does a Russian split.

Some findings:

  • foot placement is key (the reason I come out so fast here is that I feel like the shirt is sliding)
  • need to grab spansets to increase the “distance” between base’s chest (aka the bottom of the hoop) and the flyer’s arms
  • base needs to start from horizontal and sit up, following the flyer (this way you’ll get a more horizontal split and also the flyer can push against a “vertical” surface)
