Where is the flyer's free leg in a lib?
The free leg is usually bent or held in a controlled position while the flyer maintains an upright posture. The exact shape can vary with the routine and the athlete's level.
Is a lib performed at prep level or full extension?
A lib can be performed at different stunt heights, including prep level and full extension. The height changes the technical and safety demands, but the defining feature remains the flyer balancing on one leg.
How is a lib different from a heel stretch?
In a lib, the flyer commonly keeps the free leg bent or controlled beside the body. In a heel stretch, the flyer holds the free foot and extends that leg outward, so the two positions have visibly different shapes.
