Ground pop to Whale

This is one of the most dynamic and elegant entries into a Whale you’ll come across.
The flyer starts standing at the base’s hips while the base positions his feet as if preparing for a Throne entry. As the flyer jumps upward, the base adds power with his legs, helping her gain extra height. At the peak of the jump, the flyer leans backward and lifts her legs forward, allowing her upper back to land smoothly on the base’s feet. The base catches her ankles, and within a single fluid movement, they arrive in a stable Whale.
Although the entry looks effortless when performed well, it requires excellent timing from both partners. The flyer must fully commit to the jump and trust the movement, while the base provides just the right amount of support to guide her safely into the final position.
