Quite honestly the exact same thing happened to me. Just work hard and it will pass. She probably just feels good that she found something she excels at, and doesn’t realize that she is hurting you.

Are there any cheerleading stunts with 2 flyers and 5 people total?

Question by caitlin h: Are there any cheerleading stunts with 2 flyers and 5 people total?
I am entering in a cheerleading stunting competition at a high school level, and we want to have 2 people flying or at least each up in the air at some point. There are 5 people total in the stunt group and bases, front spot or back spot is optional. Any videos or explanations would be nice.

Answer by Sierra C
ok just an idea so what you do is you have one flyer go in to a shoulder sit (look it up. you will need one base and a back spot for one second) Then the other flyer and base base and backspot is you go to a prep or extension and give the shoulder sit your foot (a hitch)

The backspot from the shoulder sit will come in and frontspot the other flyer possibly

Answer by Lauren
If your a first time cheerleader, ur probably gonna do cradles and sponges. Cradles mean the bases throw you up then catch you. Sponges are when they sponge, put your feet together, and gently bring you to the ground. You might also do extention which is fun 😛 An elevator is when bases hold you at shoulder length, but extention is when the push you all the way to the top extending their arms. You might do other things to like toe touch cradles, show n go’s, and twist cradles. Hope i helped ya!! 😀

How is the flyers foot in a cheerleading liberty?

Question by [:: How is the flyers foot in a cheerleading liberty?
I am a flyer in cheerleading. In a Liberty stunt:
Like the foot that the bases are holding is it supposed to be completely flat in their hands? or are they holding only part of your foot? pictures would be good.

Best answer:

Answer by CeciliaaxD
Your foot is flat.
This is from two or three years ago.
So its prep to Liberty.

But see how the left foot is flat. Thats how your foot remains. Don’t toe or heel, you will most likely fall.

How high do cheerleader flyers go in the air?

Question by Matt: How high do cheerleader flyers go in the air?
I got into an argument with a friend, who is a cheerleader..and she claimed 40 feet on average. This is high school level by the way, I’m not sure how different it would be going to a college level. But yea, I just found 40 feet to be really high, considering she claimed they can throw even higher then that. But any insight would be nice, thanks guys.

Best answer:

Answer by 29chickk
it obviously depends on the weight and strength of the flyer and the bases..we can get our smallest flyer maybe 50 (thats a rough estimate since she can’t pull a tape measure up with her!). Many college squads can go extremely high, but like i said it depends on the flyer and bases
