FOOT-TO-PELVIS FRONT SOMERSAULT

HINTS TO BEGINNERS: In this stunt the top man alone controls the spin of his body. He must snap his head down to start the spin and then put it back to come out of it. After a few times the top man should be able to do this stunt without holding on or without assistance from the bottom man's hands. The bottom man should not

pitch the top man for height until he can perform the stunt in balance consistently. This stunt is best assisted by the safety man as illustrated below in Figure 105. The top man's arm and neck should be caught as illustrated in Figure 106 when he rocks over the bottom man into position for the somersault.
