This transition is easy to perform and is a good choice once you have a stable Bird on hands pose. The flyer reaches back with their arms and holds the base’s soles. The base uses their legs to support the flyer from the sides, creating enough stability for the base to release their hold on the flyer’s hips. At this point, the flyer hangs on the base’s legs with additional support from the sides.
