BLAST OFF

[BLAST]- hold each position long enough to spell "Blast"  Goal is to have NO STEPPING TO FLOOR eventually except to move to the T-

B= Tuck hold (hold self in a big ball position- head up. knee's higher than belly button
L= Pike hold- AKA a letter "L"... extend legs out to Pike... again eventually toes higher than belly button. Push bum from L on up to a stand on floor behind pedestals... eventually no stand but continue right to A
A= Capital A- bum is the top of the letter (momentary hold with bum in air; legs straddled)
S= Straddle support.. legs on inside or outside of arms eventually outside is the goal
T=  .. Put one foot on pedestal and LEAN ON THAT FOOT....  kid rises to stand as if the pedestals are a base underneath of a X (x=tube of rocket ship, chimney, etc- your choice) and swings arms up forward  and over head as they rise to a stand making sure to stay INSIDE the (x) on the way up.. make Letter Tee... aka at top they make a Tee with arms

[OFF- jump off]

can then jump off HIGH, landing barely outside of their X. They should land millimeters from X in front or back.  NOTE- this is highly important.... a distant jump can push the pedestals (or a someday human partner) over and the top can fall on top of pedestals/partners as their support collapses, crumbles/falls over...  CHOOSE YOUR PEDESTALS WISELY to compensate for skill level of kids to prevent injury

[OFF spelled-&-jump] hold each position long enough to say "Blast"

O= Tuck hold again but smaller with head down and back hunched up a little
F= Fancy L- Pike hold with one leg in butterfly position (Passe') ... aka... "F"ancy L hold
F= repeat other legstand in back on floor then.. Jump off as described above
