George Caddy :: Four high: in this tricky move, which puts a lot of pressure on the bearer at the bottom, the guy in front watching is no idle bystander. His job is to act as ‘spotter’, helping with the formation of the stunt and catching the top balancer if the whole thing collapses. Tim Holman acts as ‘spotter’ for Eve Holman, Max Stewart and Vic Whitehead, supported by bearer Alf Stanbrough. American gymnasts call this a ‘triple holdout’. Bondi Beach, Australia, 1930’s
George Caddy :: ‘Beachobatics’. The Graham gymnasts doing a six-man ground pyramid (from left to right, top row) Wal Balmus, Frank Cottier and Max Stewart hand-balance off Vic Whitehead and Jack Goldberg (face obscured), all supported by bearer Alf Stanbrough, Bondi Beach, Australia, 1936
