Gymnastics: Lift from hips and pushing to land

A creates a low mobile action, (eg. a long shape twisting roll) whilst B catches up and "wheels" over A.

Balances may be understood as Static, held positions, where one partner supports all the weight of; or some of the weight of the other partner, to create a co-operative pair image. All static balances must be held and shown for three seconds.

Whatever the base created, the top gymnast may choose to place full weight onto the partner

This Grip works like interlocking hooks. The fingers of the hands are curled to hook into the equally curled fingers of the partner.

This Grip may be used to pull against the weight of the other in a pair idea.

The grip may be used with arms parallel to each other; or with arms diagonal to the body.

p>Counter Tension.(static)

The two gymnasts may lean towards and onto each other whilst remaining in contact with each other. A state of equilibrium may be achieved by pushing against each other and holding the static image created. The two gymnasts may lean towards each other :-

• Face to Face. 
•  Side to Side. 
• Back to Back. or 
• combinations of these situations. 

Propping Actions. Propping actions may occur when a base gymnast uses tense limbs to prop up the weight of a top gymnast and create a counter tension idea.
