I learned the base and second base (middle) of a three-high today. I also feel relatively comfortable spotting and teaching a two high, front mount, and back mount. Something we should work on when we get back! Two highs are not scary at all - we should be doing them regularly - and three-highs are a bit more scary, but if you have the proper safety equipment, they're not that bad either.

So cool! I now feel quite confident flying a two high too, so hooray!
(and they really aren't that scary are they?)

We'll totally have to work on it! The main thing I'd need to get used to is the weight - the top person was ten and small. If anything else, we should use two-highs.

yeah, i feel like i've been saying that forever! though you're right jacob, it's super-easy with kids, it definitely is not that hard with people closer to similar size. BUT the issue is bases - we've always had plenty of people ready to fly, we need more ready to be stepped on! first-year guys need to be recruited!

I can base it (and teach it) now. I also theoretically know how to do a front mount and back mount, where the flyer just springs up. Maybe Juliana and I and Molly and I will practice when I'm on the west coast. (eee, I leave in the morning!!)

I should be able to base normal stacks and possibley three-high. I've bulked up a lot this summer... hee
