Tumbling for Amateurs

by James Tayloe Gwathmey

60. Same as No. 59, only No. 2 throws head quickly to right or left and alights with back to No. 1.

SIDE OVER FEET.

61. No. 2 stands by side of No. 1, and sits on feet. Rest of movement same as in No. 59. Figs. [83], [84].

PITCH BACK FROM FEET.

62. No. 2 sits on No. 1’s feet and lays back; No. 1 kicks vigorously, No. 2 doing regular back movement, and landing away from No. 1 on same side from which he started, not turning over No. 1 at all. Figs. [85], [86].

BACK FROM FEET.

63. No. 2 jumps on No. 1’s feet, gets a perfect balance, and does a back off.

MOUNT TO FEET AND BACK OFF.

64. No. 1 lies on back, feet up, hands on outside of thighs; No. 2 places right foot on No. 1’s left thigh, and presses inside of knee against No. 1’s foot to steady himself. He then places left foot on No. 1’s left foot and, without touching hands, comes to an erect position, then back somersault off. Figs. [87], [88].
