[CassidythePrincess]

[Gymnast7Babe]

[dandot090791]

2:20 dog:" mmmm....looking good there baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybey"

[Thekingmyboy96]

[surfdudezuri]

how did I GOT from how to sew to this....

[ToReToALarco]

idk how i get here but girllllllllllllllllllllll my back hurts at 1.33

[thesnowbry]

lol at 2:18 a dog is at the door

[Sunclawfull]

Dude this helped me so much. We did that chest roll trick at my dance studio, except we used different arms and it hurt like heck. Thanks for showing a better way to do it!

[angel14703]

Great Tutorial but Im Sorry I Just Burst Out Laughing At 1:29 but its still a good I CAn FInally Do That Now.

[sexyandiknowit1002]

1:29 i almost died, i fell the other way

[32Pennies]

VERY sexy!! You are HOT!!  Great body, LOVE the butt!!

[rskir01]

I just caught myself watching this video for the wrong reasons.

[penguinswearinshades]

does she know there is a bear outside her window??

[m0lli3babe]

@penguinswearinshades

are you an idiot... thats a dog...

[penguinswearinshades]

@m0lli3babe ever heard of sarcasm? -__- so the question is...are you an idiot?

[allstar5030]

hahah the dog in the back is like holy fuck this plant smells good :)

[cut3boy10]

thats a big ass dog

[Kiababe5]

@tyciol there is no trick. if you have a really flexible back you will be able to do it. sooo you first need to get a flexible back before you will be able to do it.

[TheAdoptedShayTard]

I know this is really weird but I think I have the same carpet as you...o.e

[301kierra103]

Do you have a video on how to do a back walkover?

[CassidythePrincess]

@301kierra103 No, I don't! But I believe there's a really good tutorial by MissTaylorJoelle. :)

[laylayluvzyou]

lol to the HUGE dog that appeared @ 2:18

[tyciol]

Also when you use the string for the standing stretch at the end, you feel that in the lower back? Seems weird, since I thought it was when we rounded our lower back (flexion) that we felt it in the back muscles. When we arch (extension) I thought it stretched the abs/ribs.

[CassidythePrincess]

@tyciol I'm not sure about the technicalities of stretching, but I know that if I work on improving my arch, it helps my back become more flexible. If you're concerned with the string thing, you definitely need to have flexible shoulders in order to do it. If you want to improve shoulder flexibility, do a bridge and try to push your body over your shoulders as far as you can without hurting yourself (push your weight towards your head and keep legs & arms straight). Hope this helped!

[tyciol]

The motion you do at 0:31 where it's like you have your left shoulder hyperextended and then suddenly it rotates into overhead flexion....

I don't think most people can do that, lol. That's something I'd like to see you do a tutorial about. When I push into a bridge I usually do it with both arms at once and my arms are by my ears.

It was almost frightening to watch your shoulder do that, what's teh trick to it?

[TheAdoptedShayTard]

@tyciol It's just like when you reach your arm over your head I think...lol idk.

[bobbyjack71084]

thats a big ass dog!! 0-0

[LenialiseGomez]

Holy moly! That dog is a beast!

[grumpyclouds93]

I laughed my ass off when the dog showed up. No idea why, but his sudden presence was hilarious.

[Lacrossegirl1206]

Cool

[tw10262]

[CassidythePrincess]

@thunder72191 Not a chance.

[MsRetroGirlie]

[BekBud1]

[TheStrawberry5729]

2:29 doggy !

[Caitlyn017]

Thanks to you I just wasted my time I can do that crap

[chinghxd]

@Caitlyn017 lol...that was your own fault by clicking this video. how was she supposed to know you can do it? this is a general video.

[StoneScreamer000]

okay i did what you said it helped a lot plus i can't hold my body up to bend my back forward so i use my bed for support plus use my couch to hold my feet down between the pillows :)

[lullu0607]

Omg i think my back will break if i shall do that

[ticoNef]

great tips. Thanks for the video.

[rivariad]

nice feet, thin akles, thick thighs. jizz

[TheGymnasticsgurl98]

We do this in gymnastics . Ugh my back is soooo unflexible . I can do backwalkovers and stuff but my back looks weird :/

[donka123peace]

[koryute]

[EducatorHQ]

we have an audience at 2:15!!!!

[Dmfcheerleader]

I was always looking for a mat like that...where did you get yours??? Just wondering...

[CassidythePrincess]

@Dmfcheerleader I think it was just a fitness equipment store!

[bwoodsfinest]

Where can you get the mat you have in the video???

[CassidythePrincess]

@bwoodsfinest I believe my parents got it at a fitness store.

[shek97]

i am 13 turning 14 on xmas, and i weigh 110 pounds. do you think i can be a flyer? all the flyers in my team are quite skinny, what do you think? xo

[CassidythePrincess]

@shek97 It all depends on the size of the people on your team. If you're one of the smaller girls, chances are you'll get a shot at flying. You said that the flyers on your team are really skinny though, which makes me think that you might be one of the stronger girls. As much as I wanted to fly when I was on allstar, I knew that I was a strong base and my coaches needed to use me for that. This might be the same case that you're in. It never hurts to ask your coach though! :)

[LoveDrunk413]

@shek97 heeyy... yeah you defiantly can be a flyer.. IM the same problem as you but im a flyer because i can do a bow an arrow and a scorpion and a scale... and like back hand spring and stuff. if you are good in the air then you can defiantly be a flyer(:

[pjvolleyball19]

@shek97 i've been doing cheer for 4 years, been a flyer for three and this is my first year basing/backspotting. I do occasionally fly with some of the strongest bases on my team, so just don't be afraid to ask some people if they'll base you. You never know, it could turn out great!

*btw im 5'4 and 101 lbs.

[pink06233]

@shek97 cool i wanna be a flyer to what grade are you in 8th? im 13 and weigh 112

[crazyjav101]

i can't get my arms in that position at 00:35, any tips on how to improve my arm/shoulder flexibility ?? i really like your videos:)

[CassidythePrincess]

@crazyjav101 To stretch your shoulders, do the back bend I'm doing at 0:35. :) Eventually you'll be able to go farther back.

[quinnbeeloved]

I have a question..so im 5"4 and around 107 pounds. Well, in my cheer team..we have a lot of little/short girls ( 70 pounds)..and they are our flyers. Well, I also do rhythmic gymnastics, so im the most flexible and balanced person one my whole squad. I want to be a flyer. can i still be one? Should i ask my coach? but im sorta scared she will just laugh or something. also..how do i ask her? Or maybe I can b one in college, or later in high school?

[CassidythePrincess]

@quinnbeeloved It doesn't hurt to ask. I was a lot like you in the sense that I was one of the most flexible, but lots of other girls were tiny and young. You may be small in real life, but on your team if you're bigger, chances are you'll be basing. I based for 4 years and my coaches let me learn to fly on the side. Now I'm in university and I'm a flyer. If you learn how to fly before you go off to college, you will be more likely to get a spot flying on the team. Good luck!

[mariahoreo]

THAT A HUGE DOG :D

[JQmusical]

damn you look so good in those shorts, i could eat you alive

[Youarebeautiful04]

1:30 Face plant... teehehehe. You are really good! Do you do cheerleading?

[MangaLocks]

[thaAMAZNblue1]

2 people caught their boyfriends watching this video for the wrong reason lol

[SillyMeNoSillyYou]

i love your dog!

[kag1420]

the only one i could not do was the head stand

[lozzafail]

Your video was really helpful :) And the fact that Taylor Swift was on in the background made it complete :) xx

[rachelkinsella]

i cant do a bridge

[headshrinker5]

ow



[Draamageek88888]

Taylor swift is in the background :DD

Js.... :3

[JQmusical]

1:31 is hilarious

[glowinthedarkpompoms]

I can do a straight leg scorpion but I can't hold it very long because my back isn't that flexible as it has only learned it's flexibility in about a year. But this really helps, thank you so so much.

And I would kill for the flexibility in your back

[MisskikiCoconuts]

i love how the god walks up and is like >__>..... lolll and im gunne use that wieght roll thig you did thatwas cool an the string haha i jus though the dog was funny

[Laurenn489]

the chest stand is soo harrdd !!!

[NoChrome]

Your Hot !! I would so hit it in all those positions

[flowerlampz]

not much help..

i'm trying to improve back muscles to do the crab...

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

This is a great video! Amazing how you can do that. I'm glad you haven't had the typical crude comments from guys yet. Hopefully you won't get those. :-)

[SianSykesTW]

im meant to be doing a scorpion on top in cheer tomorrow and i cant even do a bridge or the roll thing... :L

[CassidythePrincess]

@SianSykesTW You might have a bit of a problem there lol.

[chocolatecupcakeBDY]

@SianSykesTW I was horrible at bridges before today. Put your feet against a wall so your feet don't slide and then do a normal bridge. Once you get used to a bridge take your feet of the wall. Hope that helps. good luck!

[lyricsmaker102]

@SianSykesTW just put both of your hands in front of your ears and bend your elbows then loft yourself up..i KNOWHOW TO DO A BRIDGE BUT NOT THE ROLL IM ALMOST THERE

[mariana4gymnastics]

you talk soooo loud!

[CassidythePrincess]

@mariana4gymnastics Turn the volume down?

[CassidythePrincess]

@LambiSinClair Just focus more on arching the back than ab work. This most definitely does stretch the back.

[francescaelena1]

hmm I don't think I can do a chest stand :( I'm not flexible yet

[CassidythePrincess]

@francescaelena1 Keep trying! It takes a bit of time to learn. :)

[lifesAnnette]

i FINALLY did the chest stand! im soo happy >.<

[TheBabeeee2010]

heey :) i loved the video ! its helped me alot but the thing is, im teaching myself how to do contortion and splits seeing classes are too expensive for me :/ are these one's the easiest stretches to do or are there easier ones?

p.s i LOVE youur dog :D

[CassidythePrincess]

@TheBabeeee2010 Doing bridges are the easiest things to stretch your back. And thanks!

[TheBabeeee2010]

@CassidythePrincess okay! thank youu :) xx

[BoomBoomPow097]

2:21 the puppy <3 :)

[luv2lol234]

i dont think my back is flexible enough to do a chest stand... ethier way every time i try to do it i can get stay like that. tips? or waht am i doing wrong

[CassidythePrincess]

@luv2lol234 Once your feet go over your head, push through your hands. Focus all of your arm strength into pushing your palms against the floor. :) That forces your legs to extend more.

[psychojoker131]

Heyyy I thought I was gonna break my back trying the chest stand! But nooo! I didn't! At least not this time... Well I'll get to work on that. Thx

[sugarsweetification]

WTF is in your back yard?

[CassidythePrincess]

@sugarsweetification My dog..

[chancedog1126]

you are beast. and hott.

[nutcase501]

Nice video.

I can do front and back walkovers, and scorpian and backcatch, and I'm really flexible, but for the life of me I can't do a chest stand. I can't seem to get the momentum to get my legs over. Any tips?

[CassidythePrincess]

@nutcase501 Just roll forward and don't get worried about breaking your neck lol. :P If you have a cheese mat/wedge, try doing it down that so that you can grip the edge to prevent yourself from going over too far.

[DancingFreely]

very nice vid :) nice and informative

p.s. cute dog!

[CassidythePrincess]

@DancingFreely Thanks! :)

[CClemens1978]

A frontbend is where you put your legs behind your head... also known as the pretzel.

Any chance you can try that on one of your future videos?

[samanflexible]

really nice backbends :) what about frontbends?

[CassidythePrincess]

@samanflexible I'm not exactly sure what those are lol.

[AcroSurviver]

@CassidythePrincess frontbending is like putting your feet behind your head and stuff. It's like backbending, but you bend your back forwards... :)

[CassidythePrincess]

@AcroSurviver Oh ok. :)

[AcroSurviver]

@CassidythePrincess I checked the wikipedia...

But I don't really like that... I prefer back bending, and apparently so do you.

[CheeryCarO]

Cool vid!! and ur dog is so cute=)

[zadisc]

OHHHH y LOVE YOUR LEGS BEUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!

[wellhelloimlex]

1:30 omg!

[marie2528]

[CassidythePrincess]

@marie2528 That was my goal. :)
