Both gymnasts now co-ordinate a vertical jump from A whilst pressing down firmly on the shoulders of B and lifting heels " backwards and up" into a layout position. By pushing shoulders well in front of the wrists gymnast A will create an efficient propping action for the upper body. Gymnast B assists the jump by lifting A high on straight arms and propping the legs from the lower thigh grip, to hold A in a layout balance position. After holding the balance, gymnast B lowers A back down to the ground.
