Dismount: The ending movement from a stunt or pyramid that is released to a cradle or released to the performing surface. 

If released to the performing surface, top person must land on their feet.

No stunt, pyramid, individual or prop may move over or under a dismount, and a dismount may not be thrown over, under, or through stunts, pyramids, individuals or props.

Dismounts:

  • may not intentionally travel.
  • must return to the original base(s) unless dismounting single based stunts with multiple top persons.
  • to the performance surface require assistance from the original base/spotter unless performing a straight drop/small hop off with no additional skills from waist level or below to the performing surface.

Top persons may not be, or come, in contact with each other while released from bases.

All multi-based waist level cradles in which the bases begin underneath the top person’s feet will be considered a toss and must follow toss rules.
