Physical Contest Games Thumb Spring
( Physical Contest )This is similar to the Wall Spring but differs both in method of execution and in general difficulty. The performer places the inner side of the thumbs against a wall or the edge of a table or window sill may be used. No other part of the hands should touch this surface. The feet should then be moved as far backward as possible. The body will then be leaning forward and from this position without any movement of the feet a sudden push should be made from the thumbs the object being to recover the upright position. It is well to begin with a slight distance and work up to a greater one.
