We teach the Chilean technique of Tarzan pops. Here, the flyer almost unrolls into a bird when swinging back from the Tarzan, and pushes actively with the hip against the pop from the base to create more height. We start with Tarzan to bird and go on to chair/ throne, with a focus on creating as much height as possible. Eventually, with enough air time, we can also work towards variations like landing in side chair or even f2f.

You can already do an at least okayish mortalito, and you would like to make it cleaner and more consistent, or learn some variations? Then this workshop is for you.

We're going to play around with some technical details that affect height and rotation of the mortalito, to help you figure out what works best for you. Then we're gonna look into variations like full (further rotation to bird) or landing in whale, side chair, maybe even towards f2f.

Prereq: A decent mortalito.
Please come calibrated with your partner/group.

We look at reverse Tarzan Pops, that means we pop on the way back from the reverse Tarzan to the reverse bird. We start easy with rev. Tarzan->rev. bird and work our way up to rev. Tarzan->rev. throne. Depending on time and level we might also try the rev. Tarzan cascade (anti-whippop), that means the flyer rotates contrary to the direction of the Tarzan landing in a star.

Prereqs: Stable reverse Tarzan and normal Tarzan->throne

Normal whips and pops are getting boring? Time to link Icarians with Whips! We start first with hands free Icarians and then build it up step by step to small whipcarians/zambullidas like from bird to Tarzan. That means the flyer lands directly in the Tarzan without stopping in bird. Depending on time and level we go on to throne -> Tarzan to maybe even whale -> Tarzan.

Prereqs: Confidence in whips and spotting dynamic tricks. Experience with basic Icarians like chair->bird.
