INTERPRETING THE LEGALITY OF STUNTS
Braced Dismounts (2-6-11) Checklist – all answers should be “yes” in order for a braced dismount to be legal. - Does at least one bracer maintain hand/arm contact with the flyer during loss of contact? - Do the flyer and bracers always remain non-inverted? - Are there two bases? - Is there a separate spotter for the flyer and each bracer? - Is the loss of contact a continuous up & down movement without a pause? - Does the flyer remain directly over the base(s)? - Does the flyer return to the original base(s)? - Do all bracers assist/guide, but do not intentionally increase the height of the flyer?
Inverted Stunts (2-8-2-b) Checklist – all answers should be “yes” in order for an inverted stunt to be legal. - Is the flyer clearly in a weight-bearing inverted position on the floor before the base(s) take her/his weight? - Is the flyer moved directly into a non-inverted position shoulder height or below? - Is there a base or spotter who is in a position to protect the flyer’s head/neck? - Does that base/spotter maintain physical contact with the flyer until flyer is no longer inverted?
Loss of Contact Transitions (2-12-1) Checklist – all answers should be “yes” in order for a l.o.c transition to be legal. - Is the flyer constantly braced (hand/arm contact) during loss of contact? - Do the flyer and bracer(s) always remain non-inverted? - Does the flyer have at least two bases (except if it’s a single-base tick tock)? - Is there a separate spotter for the flyer and each bracer? - Is the bracer’s spotter focused on the bracer and not the flyer? - Are the spotters paying attention to the correct flyer? - Do all bracers assist/guide, but do not take primary weight of the flyer? - Is the loss of contact a continuous up & down movement without a pause? - Does the flyer remain directly over the base(s)? - Does the flyer return to the original base(s)? - Is the flyer released only to other stunts, but not to a toss? - Do all bracers assist/guide, but do not intentionally increase the height of the flyer? |
