A unique way to dismount from the throne position—going backward through a handstand.
The base maintains a firm grip on the flyer’s feet as the flyer begins to arch backward. Meanwhile, the base bends their legs, gradually lowering the flyer with control. The descent is slow and mindful, ensuring the flyer’s arms land softly on the ground. Once the flyer’s hands are securely on the floor, the base releases their feet and uses their legs to assist the flyer in reaching a vertical position, allowing them to transition smoothly to the ground through the handstand.
