It is too simple in that you just change the flyer’s position many times in a single foot extention.

This is my all time favorite stunt to fly for! I am 4 foot 9 so I am always a flyer. When I get to do this stunt I am very happy! A tip to make the stunt more easy and fun is to practice your flexibility!
Cheer On!
