NECK LIFT.

33. Facing same way, No. 1 puts head between legs of No. 2, who leans back quickly, and No. 1 straightens up and tosses him over his head; No. 2 doing back somersault movement. Figs. 55, 56.

TWISTING BACK OVER HEAD.

34. Same as No. 33, only No. 2 throws head quickly to right or left, and alights with back to No. 1.

DOUBLE DIVE.

35. Facing, and 6 feet apart, No. 1 dives forward, and as his head rests on mat—that is, half way over—with feet well apart. No. 2 dives over, comes to feet quickly; each turns, and repeat movement.

TRIPLE DIVE.

36. No. 1 in middle and facing No. 2, No. 3 back of No. 1 and facing in same direction; No. 1 dives forward and No. 2 dives over No. 1 (as in No. 35); No. 3 immediately dives over No. 2, and No. 1 has turned and now dives over No. 3; No. 2 again dives over No. 1, and repeat as before.

LIFT AWAY HAND SPRING.

37. Facing in same direction. No. 1 grasps No. 2's hands and lifts him to standing position on shoulders; No. 2 jumps to mat between hands, and, without letting go, immediately jumps straight up, doubling up as he goes, stiffening arms and pressing hard against hands of No. 1, who pushes up, straightening arms; No. 2 continues on through, and does a hand spring from No. 1's hands. Figs. 57, 58.
