Where is my daughter? five

Level 2 stunts -

As in tumbling stunting levels permit you to do all that you did in the previous level as well as new skills.

New skill glossary:

Basket Toss: A toss with no more than 4 bases, 2 of which use their hands to interlock wrists.

Log Roll: A release move whereby the top person’s body rotates at least 360 degrees while
remaining parallel to the performing surface. (Also known as “barrel roll”.)

Level 2 Partner stunts

Fliers may stand on one foot at prep level
Fliers may stand on two feet at extended level
Fliers may do a log roll dismount with a single twist
Fliers may do a quart turn while cradling

Basket tosses are permitted, but only in a straight body position



Basket Toss


ExtensionPrep level single leg stunt, scorpion body position



Level 2 Pyramids

Fliers may stand on one foot at extended level if connected to two persons at prep level or below. The connection can be made with the feet or the hands and must be made prior to executing the skill.


There are tons of different variations on these stunts, below are just a few.

LEVEL 2 STUNTS
A. A spotter is required for all extended stunts.
B. Single leg stunts may not be held at or pass through an extended position.
Clarifications:
1. If it is obvious to the safety judge that the intent of the stunt group is to gain a competitive
advantage by passing through an extended position, than it is a violation of this rule.
Taking the top person above the head of the bases would be illegal.
2. If the primary bases squat, go to their knees or drop the overall height of the stunt while
extending their arms, this skill would be considered extended and therefore illegal,
regardless of the back spot’s positioning.
C. Twisting mounts and transitions are allowed up to a total of 1/2 twist between the bases and
the top person combined. Clarification: a half twist performed with an additional half turn by
the bases would be illegal if performed simultaneously.
D. During transitions, at least one base must remain in contact with the top person.
E. Free flipping or assisted flipping stunts and transitions are not allowed.
F. No stunt, pyramid, or individual may move over or under another separate stunt, pyramid or
individual (e.g. shoulder sits walking under prep).
G. Pendulum and pendulum style transitional stunts, where the top person falls away from
the original bases, must use at least three stationary catchers, at least two of which are
not original bases. Physical contact must be maintained with all of the original base(s).
H. Single based split catches are not allowed.
I. Single based double awesomes/cupies require a separate spotter for each top person.
J. Log rolls are allowed and may only be assisted by a base. Clarification: The log roll may
not be assisted by another top person.
K. L2 Stunts - Release Moves
1. No release moves allowed other than those allowed at Level 2 in "Dismounts" and
"Tosses."
2. Release moves may not land in a prone position.
3. Release moves must return to original bases.
4. Helicopters are not allowed.
5. A single full twisting log/barrel roll is allowed as long as it starts and ends in a cradle
position. Clarification: Log/Barrel roll may not include any skill other than the twist (ex: no
kick full twists).
6. Release moves may not intentionally travel.
L. L2 Stunts - Inversions
1. All inversions must maintain contact with the performance surface.
Exception: Transitions from ground level inversions to non-inverted positions are
allowed.
Clarifications:
Legal: Going from a handstand on the ground to a non-inverted stunt such as a
shoulder sit.
Illegal: Going from a cradle to a handstand or from a prone position to a forward
roll.
LEVEL 2 PYRAMIDS
A. Pyramids must follow Level 2 "Stunts" and "Dismounts" rules and are allowed up to 2 high.
B. Top persons must receive primary support from a base. Clarification: Anytime a top person is
released by the bases during a pyramid transition, the top person must land in a cradle or
dismount to the performing surface.
C. Extended single leg stunts may not brace or be braced by any other extended stunts.
D. No stunt, pyramid, or individual may move over or under another separate stunt, pyramid or
individual (e.g. shoulder sits walking under prep).
E. Extended single-leg stunts
1. must be braced by two top persons at prep level or below.
2. The connection to the braces can be hand or foot and must be established at or below
prep level.
3. Prep level top persons must have both feet in bases hands. (Exception: shoulder sit,
double base thigh stand, or shoulder stand)
LEVEL 2 DISMOUNTS
A. Cradles from single based stunts at prep level and above must have a separate spotter with
at least one hand/arm supporting the head and shoulder area through the cradle.
B. Cradles from multi-based stunts at prep level and above must have two catchers and a
separate spotter with at least one hand/arm supporting the head and shoulder area
through the cradle.
C. Dismounts to the performing surface from stunts and pyramids from prep level and above
must be assisted by an original base.
D. Only straight pop downs, basic straight cradles and 1/4 turns are allowed.
E. Twisting dismounts exceeding 1/4 turn are not allowed. All other positions (e.g. toe touch,
pike, tuck, etc) are not allowed.
F. Cradles from extended single leg stunts in pyramids are allowed.
G. No free flipping or assisted flipping dismounts allowed.
H. Tension drops/rolls of any kind are not allowed.
I. When cradling single based double awesomes/cupies, 2 catchers must catch each top
person. Catchers and bases must be stationary prior to the initiation of the dismount.
LEVEL 2 TOSSES
A. Tosses are allowed up to a total of 4 tossing bases. One base must be behind the top person
during the toss and may assist the top person into the toss.
B. Tosses must be performed from ground level and must land in a cradle position. Top person
must be caught in a cradle position by at least 3 original bases one of which is positioned at
the head and shoulder area of the top person. Bases must remain stationary during the toss
(i.e. No intentional traveling tosses).
C. Flipping, inverted or traveling tosses are not allowed.
D. No stunt, pyramid, individual, or, prop may move over or under a toss, and a toss may not be
thrown over, under, or through stunts, pyramids, individuals, or props.
E. The only body positions allowed are straight rides.
F. During the straight body ride, the top person may use different arm variations such as (but not
limited to) a salute or blowing a kiss but must keep the legs and body in the straight ride
position.
