The flyer kneels on the foot of the base. The flyer stays upright, the base balances.
The order in the name is important. The first word in the name (shin) always means the flyer’s body part. The second (foot) is the body part of the base. If the flyer is kneeling on the foot the base, it is shin2foot.
