Answer 1

Make sure you pick one spot to look at, chin, shoulders, and chest up, as you do with other stunts. Don't look down. Don't balance yourself, let the bases do it. Just squeeze your abs and butt and lock out that leg.

Push off the shoulders hard, but when you draw your leg up to lib position keep that hip level with your standing one or you are going down. So don't push your lib foot into your knee or your hip will drop. Also, you might find yourself toeing or heeling (pushing one or the other downward making your foot not flat). If your toes are going down, lift your big toe to pull them back up. If your heel is going down push your toes down to even things up.

You foot might also rock side to side. Hopefully the secondary base will give you a good squeeze while holding you and help you out. If you do rock, when you get home try standing on a soup can. That exercise strengthens your ankle.

Here are articles about libs. Maybe you can find something helpful.

If you are doing pump stunts to libs, your coach will probably arrange you in 3+ groups, in a horizontal row. Each should have at least 5 members, with at least one front and back spot. Say you only have 3 groups, on the count the two outside groups are going to go straight up extension and the middle group is just going to go to elevator, hold for a count of one or two and then switch, extensions come down to elevator and elevator goes up to extension. Then, hold for a count of one or two and then elevators go up to lib (that's why you need fronts), and extension transfers over to lib. Flyers don't connect or blade arms, because that would be very, very dangerous to the bases and the flyers. You wouldn't want to whack someone on the head!!!

HOPE I HELPED!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 3

push super hard off their shoulders when you start, stay SUPER tight when your up there, pull your toes up in your shoes, and also dont hit it until your safely up there just make a peg leg, you can also practice putting one foot on the side of your bed and pretend your going up in one it will help alot!!! good luck!!!
