Flying Trapeze

Start with a full swing. At the back of the swing, as you pass through the center, lift your feet forward to perform a straight inversion, using your feet against the cables of the trapeze bar to control and balance yourself. You want to be straight and upside down, with your legs straight and apart, and the outside of your feet against the inside of the cables. As you get into position, keep the fly bar close to your hips, slightly arch your back, and look back.

From a swing, you go into a straddle on the back of the swing after finishing your seven. Once in your straddle, arch your back and keep your hips close to the back and look back towards the catcher. Wait for the hup!

Jump from the platform holding the trapeze bar with your right hand, palm up, in the middle of the bar, if you turn anti-clockwise. Sweep back and forward, then turn your hips as you release your left hand and regrip with both hands. You can also do a force-out to turn around. Keep your hips and legs forward in a seven position. Sweep back, then forward, and extend over the platform. Hollow, sweep back, and move into a seven. At the peak, turn your shoulders and hips to present your arms for the catch.

Also: Half Turn

Flyer takes off and hangs straight with flexed feet. Catcher catches feet under their arm pits and locks hands on back of the flyer's knees over their head. Flyer arches slightly in the apron. On the back swing with the catcher, flyer sits up quickly and presents their hands for the catcher as high as their feet as possible. Catcher releases the flyer's legs at the top of the swing and grabs their hands. Flyer lowers feet and works in hands with the catcher like normal after to either go to the net or return to the fly bar.

Jump from the platform with both hands next to each other in the middle of the bar. At the front of the swing, lift your legs and hook them onto the fly bar, one on each side of your hands, staying tucked with your hips close to the bar. You will swing backward in the same position. On the second forward swing after the bottom of the arc, you will have two heps: on the first hep, release your hands and swing your chest up; on the second hep, open your legs and release the bar.

Also: Two-Position Hocks Off

Start from a swing, then set like a layout (or just hold your seven until the bottom of the swing), do a small break and drive a little while going into a straddle on the bar at the front then opening of the catch like a straddle whip in one smooth flip.

Jump from the platform. At the front of the swing, lift your feet forward to perform a straight inversion, using your feet against the cables of the trapeze bar to control and balance yourself. You want to be straight and upside down, with your legs straight and apart, and the outside of your feet against the inside of the cables. As you reach the back of the swing, slightly arch your back and look back.

Also: Bat

Jump from the platform. At the front of the swing, lift your legs and bring both feet inside your arms, under the bar, stopping them there with your feet pressing against the bar. At the back of the swing, finish bringing your feet under the bar and extend into a planche. The bar should be directly under your butt, with your arms and legs straight and aligned with your body. At the front of the second swing, let go for the catch or to the net.
