YES to this post!!!Are you a main or side base?
If you are a side base try gripping higher up on the foot with your top hand, closer to the ankle and squeezing in near the ankle joint.
If you are the main base, suggest that your side base do this. Also, as a main base, make sure that your wrists are as close to your side base's hand as possible and you are providing a stable standing surface for the flyer.
Also, I wouldn't really suggest taping a flyer's ankles for the sole purpose of keeping them from rolling in a stunt, it will only allow them to remain weak. Maybe talk to your coach about doing ankle strengthening exercises, such as toe raises, ect,...
AND REMEMBER: It never any one person's fault when it comes to a stunt hitting. You all have to learn how to work together to make it happen. Teamwork makes the dream work! ;)
