Question
Hi, We are trying to do a partner stunt. Just a basic prep and extension. How do we load or go about doing that?

Answer
A toss to hands. Just like you would do a chair. If you're new to doing it you may have to work on your toss (for the male) by doing flicks at first until it gets high enough to do hands. You can also do a walk-in to hands but honestly that's difficult to describe by typing, i'd find someone who knows how to do them to demonstrate. But for starters i'd suggest toss-to-hands
