LOCKED-LEG ROCKER

Fig. 95

SIT DOWN AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE, FACING EACH OTHER, WITH LEGS SPREAD;

CLASP YOUR OWN WRIST UNDER PARTNER'S KNEES (a);

THROW HEADS FORWARD AND BACKWARD IN UNISON TO START ROCKING;

AID PARTNER BY LIFTING WITH LEGS UNDER HIS ARMS; KEEP AS CLOSE TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE.

NOTE: The locked-leg rocker may not seem to be of much importance in a tumbling program. However, it is a valuable stunt because it shows how important the head is

in controlling the movements of the body. The stunt cannot be performed if the heads are not used correctly.
