[Pengooin27]

[redheademogirl]

i can do a straight scorpion but i dont hav a flexible back and i cant grab my nee cuz my leg will bend so i hav to grab my foot and pull it up

[SayCheeseBiitch]

[Mady8Talent8]

[evette1919]

[fishygal88]

[LoveKy35]

[TiffanyandMonica]

[mrsdancer7]

It is called a needle!

[DanceMomsgirls1]

I have problems walking my hands down any tips for that?

[CheeryCarO]

@DanceMomsgirls1

hold a rope with both hands and roll your shoulders so that the rope will go behind you. i know this explanation is a bit confusing but i hope it's understandable.

[inlove101100]

you are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo flexible

[hyperchik3]

omg i am trying this its so helpful! :) THANKYOU A MILLION TIMES.great video

[junetumblebaby]

your legs are like plastic



[abigailmiller19]

Its also called a flat back. never a sraight leg scorp.

[abigailmiller19]

umm its called a straight leg.

[TheMaddie1122]

That looks painful O_O My legs won't even bend straight when I'm sitting down without hurting -_- I wish i had your flexibility.

[starplayer42]

i aint being funny but i swear when u do gymasticts you are suppost to have your hair up? :/

[FreyaJanssonSalonen]

I'm a natrual, flexible girl. My legs are extreamly flexible, I can go down in splits both ways without any warmups, I could easily do a scorp/spike if it wouldn't be for my "stony back". It's not flexible at all, I can do a crappy bridge, but my hands and feet are a bit far away.. I've heard that the only way to improve your back-flexibilty is to train your bridge, but it's not really helping! My coaches gave me some instructions to bend back while in splits... Are there any more tips?

HELP!!!!

[DanceMomsgirls1]

@FreyaJanssonSalonen try doing a backbend against the wall then do a bridge and straighten your legs out!

[amber6610001]

damn....... she flexible

[1997Redualed]

WOW!



[BallerForLife3340]

shes flexible

[RockBandGirl129]

I can do the scorpian fine...I just fall over alot..

[mmbestfriends]

@RockBandGirl129 try to keep your standing leg completely straight. (:

[briannagymnist]

its called a needle (; but really this is great!! keep up ghe great work hun

[abullock1998]

@briannagymnist actually a needle is like like doing a stright scorp, just without holding your leg with your hand

[Sniikkers]

[Angiielovesn141]

[THEALLSTARCHEERGIRL]

[CaitlinSmithForever]

[ForeverOurWorld]

I have cheer tryouts next monday and I am so nervous! I Can do a round off back handspring ( working my back tuck) and I 'm good with tumbling, i am basing and i can usually base a full or extension and a twist down ( i can't quite base a lib yet perfectly) I can do a pretty good toe touch and a ok hurdler i can do splits and was on competitve dance teams, are cheer dances different ? Do you think i can make it? any tips?

[CheeryCarO]

@ForeverOurWorld

i didn't really understand, do you wanna make an all star cheer team or a dance one?

[ForeverOurWorld]

@CheeryCarO its my schools cheer& competition team. But i want to know if cheer dances are a lot different than like regular dance classes

[CheeryCarO]

@ForeverOurWorld

i don't really know but i think that in cheer dances you can use poms.

[Anaconda3513]

really good tutorial do you have any stretches for bow n' arrows cuz i can pull it right next to me with right and do it like perfect but i want to learn it with left so any stretches to learn that quickly other than splits cuz im like an inch away from the floor in my left split but i can't pull my leg up to a bow n' arrow :( so do you have any tips on that? cud you make a video? cuz this one really helped!
