Toe TouchArms are in a T. Legs rotate and the
knees point to the sky. Eventually knees should
point back, behind the jumper. While it is called
a toe touch, do not reach for your toes. Keep a
straight back and sit into the jump.

Liberty

• 1. Main base, (right) holds the flyer's foot on
  the heel and the toe.
• 2. The left base holds the flyer's foot in the
  middle and the flyer's ankle.
• 3. The back spot positions her hand on the
  flyer's butt, like a chair, and the other hand on
  the flyer's calf.
• 4. The front base holds the main base's wrist
  loosely, and the flyer's shin.
• 5. On the count of 5,6,7,8 the stunt goes up, as
  the flyer pushes off the base's shoulders, and
  everyone pushes up.
• 6. Once up, the back-spot puts the hand that was
  on the flyer's butt in any available area on her
  leg, usually the calf.
• 7. The flyer stays tight, and pulls her lib,
  squeezing all her muscles, and sucking in, making
  sure not to lean on one hip. The middle of the
  flyer's raised foot should be touching the side
  of her knee.
