During a pyramid a top person may pass though an inverted position if the top person remains in contact with a base that is in direct weight bearing contact with the performance floor. Must start and end at prep level or below. Dismounts: Basic cradles with a ¼ turn & bump downs, 1 & 1/ 4 twist (full down) from any one or two leg stunt
