For this trick, we are going to hold the cap instead of the base. It is going to be the same thing. We are going to do a pull spike motion.

You want to make sure the spike stays pointed down, and  when it gets to the level of your hand you are going to slide the cap underneath and catch the rim of the base on the rim of the cap and rest, the spike against the side of the cap. This is going to anchor in the base so that you can balance it Just like before. It might be a good idea to just set the base on there and practice balancing.

For both of these tricks, you can end them in a variety of ways. By going into other tricks, one of the simplest ways for bird is to just pop it up and slide then spike under. The same is true for Stilt. You can pop it up and slide that spike under, also you can combine them by performing a Bird then flipping the cap like in a cap flip and catching a Bird again or doing a Stilt to a flip and another stilt.

So there are lots of things that you can work on once you have got them down.
