SAMPLE PAGES FROM THE AERIAL CIRCUS TRAINING & SAFETY MANUAL
From standing, hold ropes firmly and face forward. Sink into Straddle. Circus Rings.  Photos 2 & 3 : Lean body back in the direction of the straight leg, while holding on to the same rope with both hands. Photo 4: Take one hand off rope and extend arm to style. You can then put that hand back on and take off other hand (not shown). Photo 5: With hand that is extended, hold foot or,  if you are flexible enough, touch foot to head as seen above. NOTE TO SPOTTER:  In Photos 1 & 2,  spotter’s hand is over student’s extended leg. This is a good spotting technique to maintain throughout the entire trick not only to have more contact with student who might be fearful of leaning back, but also as a more cautious approach to spotting which is recommended for beginners. Trapeze Side Lay Back. Spotter spotting student.
