Category: Stunting
Type: Formation
V-SIT
This drill requires four people- three bases and one flyer. For any age (and specifically the younger athletes), a safety precaution is to have an additional spotter behind the stunt.
The Bases:
All three bases will squat down. Two bases will grab a leg of the flyer, and one base will place her hands on the rear end of the flyer. The two bases holding the legs will face slightly at an angle towards each other. They will then take their inside hands and place it on the back of the flyers’ thigh, and their other hand will be placed on the back of the flyers’ calf.
The Flyer:
Once the bases and the flyer are in place, the flyer will jump up as high as she is able.
The Bases:
As the flyer jumps, the bases should extend their arms and stand up. The bases’ arms should be extended straight above their heads, and their elbows must be locked out.
The Flyer:
The Flyer will basically be sitting on the hands of her bases. Her legs should be spread slightly in a V Formation, and she should hit a High V.
Dismount:
The Flyer:
The Flyer will bring her legs together.
The Bases:
Once the Flyers’ legs are together, the bases will lower her down to the ground in a standing position.
When To Use This Stunt:
This is a great stunt to perform in routines during Pre-game, or Half-Time. It is a very visual stunt, which makes it useful during music performances. You can always build other stunts around the V-Sit, or touching the V-Sit for extra creativity and visual affects.
