This is also a good way for the advanced performer to change from the squat to the arched-back landing if he has trouble with the transition. NECKSPRING HINTS TO BEGINNERS: The beginner will have to learn with a squat landing. This more elementary type of landing is acceptable for the novice in any of the stunts of this progression. The squat landing is always used for a series of necksprings, even by the advanced performer. Good form for the squat landing is shown in Figure 53. Several ways of assisting each other in pairs are illustrated below. When helping your partner as illustrated in Figures 55 and 56, be sure to turn your head so that his elbow will not hit you in the face. Two men may assist the performer in the same way that one is doing in Figure 54. |
