Here are some important things for Flyers to know before attempting a pyramid:
1. When you connect arms and/or hold a hitched foot, DO NOT use that foot or hand to keep your balance, just touch to connect.
2. If you find yourself falling, LET GO of anyone you are connected with. This way you can prevent them from falling or having them fall on top of you, which can be a disaster!
3. You are most likely more comfortable standing on your right leg as most Flyers use their right foot to fly on. However, in a pyramid you might be asked to fly on the other foot depending on what side of the pyramid you are on. So practice your skills on both legs.
