A Risley or Risley act (also antipode or antipodism) is any circus acrobalance posture where the base person is lying supine, supporting one or more flyers with hands, feet and/or other parts of the body; spinning a person or object using only one's feet.
The act is named after Richard Risley Carlisle (1814–1874) who developed this kind of act in the United States.[1]
Risleys can be separated into three general categories of skills:
- Skills that are based with the hands
- Skills that are based with the feet
- Other
