What’s toeing & heeling? Toeing refers to the flier and/or base placing the flier’s toes down in a stunt. Heeling refers to the flier and/or base placing the flier’s toes up in a stunt so the flier’s heel is down.
Why the significance? You don’t want the flier to be “Toed” and/or “Heeled”. This makes it more difficult for the flier to stand and adjust in the stunt. Make sure the flier’s foot/feet are slightly pointed down enough so that they are standing on the balls of their feet/foot.
Bases when you pop for the cradle, make sure you dip with your legs, shrug with your shoulders, and pop the flier up. Do not bend your arms.
When you are in a stunt you want to avoid stunting flat footed. Basically this means that when you are in a stunt, you want to put a little more weight in the ball of your foot.
Base’s toss fliers into the air, stunts, pyramids, and transitions all of the time. So what is the difference between throwing and actually guiding the flier?
The Step Pyramid is a very common pyramid. It’s created by having different stunts at different levels all in line. Smallest in front and tallest to the back. When the fliers are up in the air, they will lean forward to place their hands on the flier in front of them. This forms a visual of Steps, thus called the Step Pyramid.
