Hangtime (Basket toss)

The bases grab their own wrist first and then the other base wrist with the other hand. The bases will have to get into squat position and lock their arms. The flyer puts the right foot on the bases hands. The back spot will put his/her hands under the bases hands to help them throwing the flyer in the air.

 

Dip (Basket toss)

The bases and the back spot dip with their leg in a squat position for a first bounce, during the first bounce the flyer put him/her other foot on the hands of the bases, then come the secound bounce, the bases will dip while they stick their feet together and throw the flyer in the air. The back spot dip with his hands under the bases ones to give them extra support. The flyer keeps his/her legs a little bit bent and dip with his/her arms at the same time and push him/herself in the air.

 

Basket toss to cradle postion

The cradle is the position that the flyer takes while falling in the arms of the bases after doing the basket toss, the back spot catch him/her unders the arms or the back. The flyer can also catch the bases or just keep his/her arms next to her body. Note that bases have to catch high and be sure that they don't have any legs moved forward when they will catch the flyer to make sure that his/her back doesn't land on a knee, so make sure your legs aren't under the flyer's back. When the flyer has reached his/her maximum high, it is important that he/she pike his/her legs to fall in a cradle postion into the bases arms.
