Key 5 6 Counterbalance

Counter Balances. (mobile) The pair lean away from each other, whilst remaining in contact by means of a  grip or interlock. Once a static balance has been achieved, the state of equilibrium may be disturbed by lowering and raising the C of G of one or both of the gymnasts. The counter balance will thereby become a mobile action. By tilting a static balance to one side, and skittering to move the feet quickly,the original balance will become a mobile spin. By a Base gymnast lowering a Top gymnast out of a static balance, the equilibrium may be disturbed, to become a mobile counter balance, and thereby create an exit idea from static balance.

Gymnast B, with palms of hands down, presses strongly down on the front of the tense lower legs of gymnast A. Works when gymnast B gradually leans further forwards into a deeper lunge position, whilst pressing even harder down on the tense lower legs of A. Gymnast A changes focus from looking along their horizontal body, to looking for the floormat. Gymnast A slowly lowers gymnast B,into a handstand position. Gymnast A looks for, and stretches towards the floormat and into a Handstand exit from the action.
