  • Guys, notice she's not just coming right back down. show and gos go up and straight back down, they switch and catch backwards. Super tight and good!

  • its a show-and-go

  • @amy18081997 a show and go is straight upextension then right back down

  • That's called a show-and-go at my school. So much fun!

  • MizzGigi4ever's comment is on page 10

  • Now I have to go find Mizzgigi4ever's comment.

  • Comment removed

  • Im a base and honestly my flyer is great and i could not imagine having anyone else and if she is faling im going to catch her and have big bruses cause she is not touching the ground when im there

  • Wow. Your gym almost looks like our middle schools, except ours is blue and goldd. (:

  • The bases make it happen. ♥

  • some stunts may look boring but cheerleaders cant do every stunt just like that. That stunt is really hard for bases ,back spotters, and flyers. so it isn't that easy..

  • Pretty, but my stunt group did that last year, and it looks more risky when shot straighter forward and snapped back harder.

  • I'm a flyer and I have done that before and we didn't do as good as you

  • they to high i thing she banged her head

  • im the only base for a teddy bear hold stunt and i have to lift cradle her by myself.

  • hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeey­yyyy my namei is amari :D

  • UGLY broken wrist on the begging freeze frame haha :)

  • she is an amazing flyer. i should kno. i based her for months in all star cheering. i love that chick. :)

    ps- weight doesnt mean much if the flyer is strong and knows how to hold her own weight. a strong back spot helps as well. but yes bases have alot of pressure. not saying they have more but they have alot. they have to make sure they get the flyer up in the air. hold her there for the amount of time needed. then make sure they catch her correctly on the way down.

  • Hey guys all positions are diffrent levels of diffuculty for different people soo just leave it at that

  • @bejuicyful yeah the flyers may "risk their lives" but the bases are responsible for the flyers' lives. I'd much rather be the person that gets hurt (in this case the flyer) rather than the person who let her get hurt.

  • cool but her arms were kind of sloppy stay tight girl your doing great

  • I kinda hate it when people say flying is easy... if it seems easy you're not doing it right

  • what schoool are you at

  • what thats it!!????

  • backspotters get the most of the pain for sure. i do all 3 posisitons and i like nack spotting the least. but every position is super important.

  • Without bases and backs there are no flyers. Simple as that.

  • I am a flyer and I am not saying that a flyer is the most hardest position. All of them are. The flyers have to be very tight to hit a one legged and bases have to be strong to throw the flyer and the back has to make sure the flyer doesn't fall and even the front is important because they have to help the bases when putting a flyer in a extension. So if you are a front you are very important. So all the positions are tough

  • Everyone has an equal part Ive been every single part of a stunt flyer base nd backspot Everyone has to hold weight, just in different parts of the body nd honestly a stunt wouldnt go up without any of them. whats the point of a stunt with no flyer? whats the point of a stunt when theres no bases to hold the flyers feet? whats the point of a stunt if theres no backspot to push there butt up and catch the flyer after a stunt? you need everyone for a stunt nobody is more important than the others.

  • haha were working on this stunt right now

  • technically, everyone holds weight. backspot gets elbowed alot more, bases get kicked a lot more. everyone has equal pain&weight. a stubnt cant go up without a base or a backspot.

  • I've based all sides of a stunt, siding, maining, and backing, and everyone has an equal part. Nobody has anymore weight than the other, unless its like a full-around (360 in some places) or other things like that because the flyer has their foot on one person's hand. But otherwise, everyone has the SAME amount of weight if its done right. :)

  • the backspot has to make sure dont fall and lift most of the wieght up not just hold them

  • @cheerchick1435

    The backspot definitely doesnt hold most of the weight, they do help alot and are important but theres a reason why flyers stand on the BASES hands, cause the bases hold the msot weight.

  • @shannon17sp I'm a backspot and i do hold whole lot of wait!

  • @shannon17sp No they dont! The backspot have to push up on the ankles taking about 75% of the weight off the bases into there arms. And on craddles and stuff the backspot get the most weight because there tummy,and hip comes on them so yes they get the most weight!

  • @JacobHayden1 ima a cheerleader and ive been both backspot and base and honestly when the flyer comes down the bases get more weight , cuss you gottastep back as back spot and just make sure she dont hit the ground

  • @JacobHayden1 i 100% disagree with you i was a backspot last year & this year ima base the bases are holding almost all of the weight the backspot just helps hold & keep the flyer up and not fall. when they cradle the bases take most of the weight too because when the flyer comes down, she goes into the bases arms. the backspot just catches the flyers upper body im not saying backspotting is easy cause its not you get elbowed and hit and the flyer falls on you but basing is just a little harder.

  • @OBDcheerleader You were a bad backspot then. Backspots are supposed to PULL UP, so the bases dont hold anything. I've broken my wrist TWICE backspotting. I'm now a flyer and feel for my backspot- I fall on him alot xD And when the flyer cradles, you get marks ALL over your arm from catching under their shoulders.

    Flying is actually really easy. It's the easiest position, if you're not scared of falling. I was a base once and I wasn't strong enough, but it's easy too if your strong.

  • @YourHugIsMyDrug Then you're not a very good flyer. i've based and flown, and both are equally hard, in different ways. bases use mainly their arm and leg muscles to lift a girl with the help of 2 or 3 other people. flyers have to use every muscle they have to keep tight in the air, while also balancing and doing some sort of acrobatic move. yes, bases need more strength than a flyer, but flyers need to be strong in every muscle. and, it's terrifying, especially if you don't trust your bases.

  • @Sundosianya I was talking about backspots turd, what does this have to do with flying?

    Actually I have an eating disorder which makes my body like an 8 yr old girls xD Like, akwardly thin and can't stay tight when they push up. But I'm CEA so I'm better then you xD

    And I never talked about basing. I said basing was the easiest and backing and flying were hardest. Learn to read.

  • @YourHugIsMyDrug "Flying is actually really easy. It's the easiest position," obviously you need to read what you wrote. you said that flying was the easiest position, and I said that that was untrue.

    what does your eating disorder have to do with anything? it shouldn't affect your flying at all. besides the fact that you shouldn't be allowed to be on a sports team if you're not being healthy. having a mental disorder isn't anything to be proud of.

  • @Sundosianya It is to me, I've done all positions and I find flying the easiest because I'm a weekling with noodle arms. I can't lift the 200 lb girls on our squad xD

    You said I wasn't a very good flyer, yet I have thee body of an 8 year old girl and 8 year old girls are easy to lift so we never really have a problem. It's not mental, I eat everything in sight. :PP I just don't gain weight and the doctor calls it aqn eating disorder.

  • @YourHugIsMyDrug It doesn't matter how much you weigh. I'm only 80 pounds, but flying is still hard. If you're doing it right, then it should still be a challenge.

    Then your doctor is an idiot. Not gaining weight is not the same thing as having an eating disorder.

  • @Sundosianya Gosh you're stupid. I said I have the BODY of an 8 year old. I weigh 95. Lmfao, you're the one with the eating disorder then, unless you're 10.

  • @YourHugIsMyDrug Well i only weight 62lbs and im 12. Why are we arguing over weight? Bases and flying are all hard jobs ,it juat depends on the person.

  • @Sundosianya Haha that was my cousin commenting there, I wouldn't call somebody a "turd". That's retarrdeedd(:

  • @OBDcheerleader If the backspot is doing their job correctly, then they should be taking the same, if not more, weight than the bases. it depends on your stunt group, and how strong and tall the backspot is. some girls aren't able to take 75% of the weight, while others can. regardless of how much weight's being taken, all of the positions should be working hard to get the stunts up and make them solid.

  • @JacobHayden1 Exactly. My coach doesn't let me get water because "I'm not doing anything" Yet she lets everyone else. Whats funny is that all the other backspots are guys and I'm a 5'7 85 lb girl backing a 5'2 135 lb girl who can barely prep O.e

  • very clean :)

  • with out bases there wouldnt be a stunt so there just as important but that was kinda boring

  • wow....waste of my time

  • the back spot is probally the most important person IN the stunt next to the flyer. the flyer in in the arms of that backspot.the strongest girls have to be your backspots.

  • that was not a sling shot!!! u stupid heads!!

  • awee i miss this stunt :/

  • this slingshot needs to go out and forward more rather than up so much for it to actually look like a slingshot

  • they are simple but they're a lot of fun

  • LOL venusvodka, I'm a base and I can do scorpions and scales and what not, its not limited to flyers. If good bases have a crappy flyer, the flyer stays in the air, if a good flyer has crappy bases, she falls. now, who needs the most experience again? I forgive you for your ignorance though because you clearly have never been a base before. if you had you'd know better about what you are talking about. and BTW its spelled scorpions, not scorpians. spell check next time

  • @cheerislyfe222 its not necessarily true , that good flyer & bad bases equals she falls , or bad flyer & good base equals she stays in the air . i understand what you saying , but i dont completely agree . there is a reason its called a stunt group this is a group effort . speaking as a base&flyer . we cant pin sticking stunts or falling solely on one person , everyone has a contribution . 

  • hehe we learned that stunt at cheer camp. they threw candy at us.

  • Woah, ignorant cheerleaders. Bases are super important to a stunt. Have you ever tried ground-ups? You think the bases are all happy lifting a girl SLOWLY off the ground into a full extension? It's strain on their arms, legs, and sometimes back. If the bases aren't together in timing, the stunt doesn't go. If the base can't support or hold the flier long enough, the stunt can't go. Sure, fliers are crucial for the stunt to look pretty. Honestly, though, basing requires a lot of strength.

  • ya it does wayy more than flyers

  • she wasent released far out enough that it looked like a sling shot.

  • duhhhhhh your dumb. basing is pretty much going to be the same basic way all the time. the flyer is the one doing all kinds of crazy shit. if you put the flyer in a full on one leg and she does scorpians aerobasques heel stretchs bow n arrows and twisting down and what not.... your still doing the same thing... is you have a new on on the squad who never cheered before she would clearly base. bc every other spot you cant pick up as easily... anyway.. this stunt is cute i like it!

  • not really there are different ways to base and if the flier has to do something like a full up the base has to learn how to throw, spin and catch the foot.  its not as consistant as you made it seem

  • @venusvodka

    flying is way easier then basing.

    i've done both.

    you're wrong.

    bases are the ones who have to hold them up while they're doing all of that.

  • uhmmm... actuallyy everythingg iss eqaully challengingg...a flyer needss too hold up theirr ownn weightt controll themmself andd makee sure that theyy are flexiblee enough too hitt everythingg sharpp and at the rightt count... basess and backss need too holdd themm

  • @venusvodka i was new on cheer and im flyer

  • who cares if it was easy? they did a god damn good job at that stunt! You's guys should try it! its not as easy as it looks. Bases are VERY VERY VERY important. Basing is the biggest job in a stunt. My stunt group have worked really hard to do big stunts, and the bases have it the worse! Im a base, flyer, and backspot! EVERYTHING is important!!!!

  • eassyy...was tight though.

  • you know a lot of people say that bases aren't as important because honestly at competitions and stuff you watch the flyer not the bases, but the bases have a lot more pressure and work to do than the flyer. I mean they have to hold a whole person in the air! sure the flyers have to work extrememly hard to but the bases are a HUDE part of cheerleading!!

  • Yeah! Im a base on a team!

  • Base arent important? Seriously? People are retarded. I mean come on. If there weren't bases, the flyers couldn't fly. Every person in the group is important. Even the front spotter, I'm a front, it's not as easy as it looks. Especially in my group, my flyer is really heavy because she's all muscle, and the bases really need support to hold her.

  • @MizzGigi4ever if there weren't any bases the flyer won't be going anywhere and even if they did get in the air, they'd have no one to catch them!

  • @RockOn29JPASDSSMR One day when one of our flyers were complaining about some bases,our coach said to her "well do it on the floor then, without your bases and look how stupid it looks to pull your stunts on the floor without your bases holding you in the air!" stunting is a group effort and if one person isn't willing to contribute, the whole stunt will fall and you won't have any progress, which in turn is a waste of practice time.

  • @MizzGigi4ever That is true. I have been both and basing is really hard to keep the flyer up, now I am a flyer and flying is hard to balance. So you are correct!

  • @MizzGigi4ever your right bases are a huge part of cheer because without them you wouldnt even have stunting...

  • @MizzGigi4ever I feel the same way about backspots. Yeah, we're always in the back and never noticed, like bases, but who is there to catch the flyer if she falls? Because let's face it, if the girl is falling sideways, there's not much a base can do (no offense). But the backspot has to step out and catch. I just really hate how everyone wants to be a flyer, because backs and bases get no recognition - no one wants to be us. So thanks for the comment bringing that to light, and stunt on :)

  • @SMARTCUTEFUNNYXD yeah I wanted to be flyer and know i base and backspot and its actually fun

  • @Niatropalice1 it is fun, only no one really notices us.

  • @MizzGigi4ever thank you finally someone understands and on my team this year it was me and my bestfriend's first year on the team (cuz we do mini football) and everyone expected us to do everything me and her are the 2 strongest gurls on the team and yet we r on our first year for this team

  • @MizzGigi4ever annddd, obviously the stunt wouldnt go up without them 

  • @MizzGigi4ever bases also have 2-3 other people helping them base.

    flyers work hard too. it's not just standing there and looking pretty.

    the bases and the flyers have to both work equally as hard for a stunt to work, and to look good.

  • @MizzGigi4ever So there a HUDE part. Not a HUGE part.

  • @MizzGigi4ever thank you! amen..thank you! try tumbling, jumping, yelling as loud as you can, being tight, AND THEN go lift/throw a girl in the air..bases are beasts.....just saying

  • @MizzGigi4ever I agree with you. I'm a flyer and I wouldn't be able to do anything that I can do without my bases!

  • @bailey98766719 what is mizz say?

  • @MizzGigi4ever FINALLY!!! haha i still luv basing

  • @MizzGigi4ever

    The only way a flyer can fly is if she has bases!!! :D the attention may be on her/him but without their bases they wouldn't exsist!

  • @MizzGigi4ever sure they r a huge part and they are amazing! but also just imagine being up in the air risking your life and counting on people most of the time that are your same age... but i'm not trying to be mean!

  • @MizzGigi4ever I am a flyer. But I respect the bases!!! It must be very hard lifting me up and without them im not impressive at all. :)

  • @RoxURSox143 thank you for being so thoughtful of all the bases in ths world :)

  • @blondecheer372 U r Welcome!

  • @MizzGigi4ever I think the flyer has more pressure, because like you said they watch the flyer. So if the stunt isn't going up or many other scenarios people tend to blame the flyer...

  • @MizzGigi4ever i agree. i was a base, flyer, & spotter. the one with the most pressure was by far basing && spotting.

  • @MizzGigi4ever ..i agree completely except i believe almost all the pressure is on flyers..cuz the bases can work harder than ever but if the flyer doesnt look good up there (technique wise) the hole stunt is is judged poorly..meaning it puts a lot more pressure on the flyer because they know its up to them to show its a good solid stunt

  • @MizzGigi4ever I know. I've been a base for seven years, and not once have I complained, because it's such an important job.

  • @MizzGigi4ever I'm a flyer but I agree 1000000%

  • @MizzGigi4ever yea! and then if the flyer falls from the stunt they know that they're most likely going to get catched but everybody else has to anticipate possibly getting hit while she's coming down! smh!

  • @MizzGigi4ever- well yes they def. are but the flyer is the one who is mostly being seen, so they have to hit everything

  • @MizzGigi4ever I know!! No one ever realizes this and I always feel bad for bases because they never get the recognition they deserve!

  • i thought it was pretty and cool

  • the flyer isnt suppose to go straight up.

    you're supposed to push her up and forward then quickly pull her right back

  • Boringgggggggg

  • cool

  • that was retarded!!! i am also a competitive cheerleader and that was sooo easy i have seen 6 year olds do it!

  • ..okayyy sooo they were just doing a stunt get the over it.

  • lol i was never learned stuff like that!!! i started with stuff like full and double ups!

  • easy..... but you guys were very tight and good!! nice job ladies

  • cool

  • tha'd be cool if she like got way way higher and did like a kick switch, but hey, i'm not the one to judge

  • It was a simple stunt. But, it was VERY cool. It would make for a good transition into another stunt.

  • that was okay but it was not good!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What are you guys talking about if you have all these suggestions try them yourself their hard.....i'm a competition cheerleader and it was awesome!!!

  • they should go higher and spot be tighter

  • That was kinda boring, they should have threw her actually up and then she should have went all the way around and landed into a prep up position^-^

    That would not be so boring.

  • That was kind of stupid

  • that wuz so simple... but very good!!

  • that was good keep it up

  • istead of throwing the girl upwards the bases should throw her like out of the stunt and then stay in place to catch her where she start =)

    that was pretty good though

  • that was good but if she woudve followed through snd if the bases didnt follow up and threw her up higher it woudve been perfect

  • is she were to hit a t motion and go more out than up it would add a more dramatic effect
