How to do Advanced Cheer Leading Moves : How to Do a Pike

[XbethaazeeX]

@MissDanamonster haha, actually a pike is any time when your legs are straight and your back is bent. so figure out what your talking about before you start posting crap (:

[gmendoza13gm]

@nikki630537 always look at the judges and smile while ur in your dance ur moves have to be nice and tight and also when ur dancing in tryouts do not look at anyone beside u if they mess up it'll most likely make u mess up and remember to be loud in ur cheers and one more thing when ur yelling the cheers do not yell from ur vocal chords if u do ur voice will crack yell from ur diaphragm

[teedaz1]

Pikes aren't hard as long as you try and reach for your feet w/ your fists,

[ChosenPoptart]

@everyone get a life 95% of y'all ain't cheerleaders y'all probably watch these videos everyday and call yourselfs a cheerleader so all y'all get ur facts straight

[nikki630537]

I really want to make freshman cheer but I have not cheered before. Anytips on how to make school cheer?

[MissDanamonster]

First of all, no. That is not an "advanced cheer move." Second your arms do not go forward and try to touch your toes; they go up in a high "v" position. Thirdly. you try to keep your back as straight as phisically possible. Fourth, where is your ponytail? Sixthly, you shouldn't be wearing a hoodie or a zipper while doing jumps/stunts. And lastly, all this is coming from an ELEVEN YEAR OLD!!! C'mon, you can't call yourself a cheer coach if you don't know things as simple as a pike.

[GwenShaddow]

@MissDanamonster Yeah... exactly. Your an 11 year old. Different people have different opinions on what IS advanced. Also, it can go either way with the arm position. I mostly see people reaching for their toes. Not a high V. That would look completely stupid and unprofessional..... Also you skipped 5... so I don't think people should be listening to you. Next time get your facts straight before criticizing someone else.

[memejjeshak]

go you need to help me in person

[LLDancer28]

Except for your legs are supposed to come up to your arms, not your arms and head down to your legs. They should meet in the middle.

[msluvinlivin]

Advanced? I'm not trying to be mean, but I learned these when I was 5 in upward cheerleading....

[totaldumblonde25]

UGHHHHHH!!!! IM JELOUS!!!!! im on a cheer sqquad and no one AND I MEAN no ones jumps are tht good and we try so flippen hard its UGHHH!!!!! hahaha tht was really good!!!!

[peace2michaelj]

pikes are my best jump! sooo not hrd;)

[ItsSheyennaYo]

Your jumps are amazing!

[copycat147]

i clicked on my history...and it took me here...what the fuck???

[thesimasegxnda]

:D I am cheerleading:D

auw

[xoxBebeBearxox]

Oh My Jesus!! Pause It At 1:08... Her Jumps Are So High!!

[FunJessica]

this is the hardest jump

[tashieexxx]

did anyone else here the whoo sound when she demonstrated the jump??

[LilMrsBieberLover]

Am I the onky one that doesn´t fins a pike jump hard?

[blue3055]

@ForeverOurWorld: you will make it

[americangirl5505]

I nocited that your teaching the pike and your landing way to hard and yeah but that was good :)

[dxmeck123xx]

i noticed in all of her videos shes landing reeally hard and that can really hurt her legs and ankles ! stay a lot more tight and you will land lighter and the chance of u injuring yourself will be like 1% .. other than that this wasss AMAAZING ! (:

[tmwalkerm]

@dxmeck123xx most of the cheerleading jumps land crazy hard, that seems to be the way they do it. What they don't show is how dangerous it is and how easy it is to injure your ankles and knees by landing so flat like that.

[ForeverOurWorld]

im trying out for my JV cheer team and im really nervous B/c i have never cheered before i can do a toe touch a herkie, splits, backhandsprings (double & roundoffbackhandsprings as well as standing) I can also so a heelstretch bow and arrow, scorpion,arebesque,and scale. SHould I practice anything else?? DO you thinki will make it

[Jessiethenerd]

@ForeverOurWorld That sounds amazing considering you haven't cheered before. Maybe practise a cobra , which is like a bow and arrow but you wrap your arm around your leg instead. Also practise things like backwalkovers , running walkovers , flicks , tucks , front handsprings , doubles , and pike and hurdler jumps. Good Luck , I hope you make the team , or have already made it ! ☮ ♥ ♫ :)

[ForeverOurWorld]

@Jessiethenerd i can do all the tumbling and i just got my back tuck but my main problem is jumps! i have to get them higher, im flexible enough i just need to get them higher! i have try outs august 19th!

[Jessiethenerd]

@ForeverOurWorld If you build up leg and core strength it really helps . A good exercise to get higher toe touches is to lie on your back with your arms above your head , and then use your core muscles to snap in to a straddle , and go back down , then repeat several times. It really helped me improve my toe touches :) Also , most coaches care more about motion technique than height , so as long as your techinque is good , you'll do fine .Good Luck at Tryouts, and remember to keep smiling ! <3

[macdance3744]

@ultimatemeister123 Then you have NO CHANCE of making it if you can't even do a cartwheel !This girl at my school could do a roundoff backhand spring but she didnt make the team because she had horrible jumps. I doubt you'llbe able to pull that off in a year.

[profminki]

I'm a guy and I do cheerleading for my high school, and apparently pikes are my best jumps due to me being able to jump high.

And maybe because my snapping is pretty fast too... But this is an excellent video for my team mates

[TickledPink165]

My pikes are terrible! This was the first day of tryouts when we learned all the jumps, and mine are downright embarrassing.

Tips for a first time cheerleader?! I'm a high school sophomore, if that makes a difference...?

[ultimatemeister123]

@TickledPink165 mine 2 im a frshman i didnt go tryoutd this yr but im hoping next yr so im trying 2 work on all these jumps just in case i do go and im like the only rookie there. i can get an almost split (im like 3 inches from the ground) but otherwise i cant even do a cartwheel or a handstand

[Lovestodance1000]

@ultimatemeister123 Snaps or crunches : )

[davismb0103]

i just cant get my legs tht high up!

how does a person ur age get thr legs up tht high!

ps: im 10

[cheer4life1299]

shes good

[rawrrainbowsXXo]

im 12,& flexible. & shes like 30 & can do all that shit.

[ollobrains1]

shaft it

[girlwhowantstohavefu]

i think pike is the hardest jump on cheerleading

[nwstormcheer101]

pikes are really basic!?!?!?!?!?

[Kayla119petrey]

Mines better then that not bragging but... ya kno but this is really really really good i agree

[cheerleader3lexi]

check out my channel and help me with plz

username: cheerleader3lexi

[singingismylife25]

Thank you so much! I was kind of confused about the hand motions but this really helped!

[Timluvs2race]

she dont really look right when she does it...no affence

[elkincheergurl1]

she also didn't land it right, absorb most of the weight from landing by bending your knees. it looks better and you won't have a tendency to fall over. it also helps to prevent injury.

[embee87]

Very nice pike! However, you are incorrect on one point. You should NOT round your back. You should lean forward but be arched. This will keep your head up and also allow you to increase your flexibility. If you stretch with a rounded back, you will never increase flexibility. Basics of human kinetics people. Simple stuff and important to know if you are going to be teaching this type of activity to others.

[Breekii]

did you here her from 0:11 - 0:13 she said advanced jump

[embee87]

I did "hear" her say advanced jump. However this is not an advanced jump when performed on it's own. I have both level one Tiny and Mini teams in their first year of cheer who have no trouble performing this jump. It becomes more advanced when performed in sequence with other jumps or with tumbling. Also, I didn't say that the jump itself was simple or basic. I said that the laws of human kinetics (ie rounded vs arched back concept) are pretty simple to anyone trained in this type of field.

[miSSkimberlyB]

i dont really kno wat it was but the jump didnt look rite. maybe it would look better if u brought ur legs up closer to ur face?

[0o0vika0o0]

no no i don't like

[romeoF99]

her jumps are really good the only thing i would correct is the fact that she double bounces

[SophAndNat]

cool

[SpecailPoohBaby]

i wish i can do a pike like dat

[kayla4life1]

nice you did that and i hope to do that to well i did so ya

[TWERKPRiNCESS]

pause at 1:08 ! * PERFECT !!

[emxcullenfan]

Hey im trying out for cheerleading and Im in middle school and does anyone have any tips on how to do this or a toe touch?? MESSAGE ME :)) thanks!!!

[VayVay96]

there are lots of videos on here about doing toe touches. but make sure you can do a pretty good split 1st thats how i learned

[maddieissocoollike]

I got my toe touch really easily once I got the technique right,

Try jumping with your legs bend first, and focus of getting your thighs in a straight line cos then you can get your body into the right position. Then I got my legs straight really easily after that.

If you get any help with pike, can you link me to it? I struggle with pike so much!

[ThePrincessindiana]

@ emxcullenfan for your toe touch strech alot strech your stradle make sure you strech your splits and practice jumping higher and once you get it don't forget to point your toes

[kalizjah]

very nice

[NatalieStephyy]

wow your really good.

[5windowsup]

haha her hood came up(: lol

[TheAngieAbbyShow]

wow thats hard

[maddieissocoollike]

Well I found that if you lie on your back, with arms and legs in a straight line and snap them up to touch that helps.

[sammyg880]

Can always tell a cheerleader/ gymnast cos they have terrible posture :P from popping out ribs (eww) etc. I'm a dancer :)

[degrassigrl190]

mee 2

[mzmagenta21]

well i am a dancer too, but is it also bad if ur back is straight when you pop your ribs out?

[sammyg880]

It;s fine to pop our ribs out of it's part of the choreography (as in doing it as a movement) but standing with your ribs out for a prolonged time is really quite bad for your spine.

[LemonStixz]

Soo ?? doesn't mean we are worse then you. im going to become a cheerleading and i am a dancer ..

[sammyg880]

Who said anything about anyone being better than anyone else? Geez.

[NitrosCheer]

ur going to "become a cheerleading"? lol real nice. good luck with that.

[Eam1996]

noone cares about STUPID chainmail

[DELLPICKLES95]

sit on the ground and touch ur toes in a pike posistion , or really any strech that involves touching ur toes. :) hope it helped

[twiinnyxproductions]

dang , for a women her age ,

she can jump . haha

man , this is really hard

cause i'm always afraid i'll fall backwards .

ahah , wish i could do it like her .

[Xx0cheerleader0xX]

OH SHYT THATS A GOOD JUMP FOR A PERSON HER AGE KUDOS KUDOS iM STiLL WORKiNG ON MiNES:P

[sunomead]

@Xx0cheerleader0xX LOL you type like LOL cats.

[Kikyo656]

Do what she just did but keep your head up

[xoShannenLeexoProd]

nice jump but my coaches taught us not to do an extra jump when u approach because judges mark it of on the score sheets so you r teaching children wrong technique

[yimocantante]

that was good

[tkosmooth]

can you teach me how to cheer i would be a beginner

[blahblahblahblah22]

Yes, I'm sure that an advanced cheerleader would go out and tell everyone.

[ectoplasma2]

big neck =D

what a spoiled cheerleader attitude

go and become a real human please

[puggluvver15]

wow that wasnt as good as i explected...i think my team has better, sorry. and we dont start in a high v, start with daggers position and then cross over to a t and then to a double punch of the arms forward.

[MeganL5884]

omg shes well good i can do like pikes toe touches and herkies but her pikes are unbaleivable cx x x well done x x xcan anyone do double toe touch pike backwards tuck

[xSazzax96]

Yehh i can doo that

[tkosmooth]

how do you do other cheers i wonder how i would be a beginner but i think i have strength i dont know alot about cheerleading

[xSazzax96]

All i was saying was i can do it

[Honeyknut]

It's a shame I can do a back tuck and can't do a decent pike.

[CutizGurl]

haha its okay, keep working on it!

My pike isn't that good either :/

[sammiisammy]

1:08 is like scary amazing.

[lopito37]

if you become a pipe, it is how it looks when you jump. obvious isn't it!

[kookie2106]

o.o when she was demonstrating her hood came up on top of her head and fell again =X

[xTokyoxSundownx]

practice makes perfect, but my main tip other then to practice a lot is to keep your knees really close together, it makes it easier for the rest of your legs to stay closer together.

[YoursxxForeverxx3]

its rlly easy .. actuallyyy.. =]

[runnergirl185]

i've seen better this dosent look right

:P

[xxcheyexx]

hhaa that is funny =]

[ixwokexup]

hehe your legs would probably go up and knock you back backwards thats funny (:

[katevanilla11]

[amberMAK]
