Basic Cheerleading Stunting : Cheerleading Stunts: Pop Cradle & Extensions

[ladylucinda1999]

The walk off things are not clean, they are very messy and they nees to use stomach muscles and land smoothly

[musicmoviesgal]

thanks for these videos, my school has no cheerleading squad so me and my friends are putting togethere a cheer stunt and dance routine for the gym and dance display none of us have cheerleading experience but these videos really help thx!! :) x

[gymnast1342]

[bikebry]

yes that was a cradle

[anyaholloway11]

that was not a cradle that was an awesome and they are not tight

[Pigzpigzpigz]

In an extension, arent you suppose to keep your feet together?

[beautifulbabe3]

@Pigzpigzpigz no that is call an awesome! :)

[LaffOutLoud567]

@beautifulbabe3 uuuh i thought that was a cupie

[twilightanndanaez]

did anyone else see the blonde bases foot when the did the mitten dismount thing its like turned?! Why didn't she fix her foot!!??

[OMGoc9]

the flyer looks too shaky. I mean she's older than me, and I'm a 13 yr old 8th grade cheerleader, and I never shake on my preps (or elevators, whatever you wanna call them)

[CaTfAcELoVeSdInDins]

These girls do not practoce. You don't put ur arms up then down then back up it looks sloppy

[Smileformejademarie]

To everyone saying they've done this, doesn't this say for basic? That means beginning, don't watch it if you can already do it, or don't complain that you've done this before. They put it up as a video to help people, stop criticizing, go watch something else if you have a problem.

[nikkirocker1]

I could do an elevator and cradle in 6th grade.

[madisondawn98]

We did pretty good our first try... I'm only in middle school and our group has done that

[KKadima24]

Uh, I don't think coaches are supposed to wear uniforms 

[OMGcocopopz]

i just started out and im a flyer and i did cradle on the first lesson i was abit shakey but im good at the walk off

[urlovinqqiqqlezzs14]

i am a cheerleader and no offense but when she did the extension she looked so unexperienced when she came down our flyers dont do that.

[Nattsbabe143]

Im a cheerleader at my school and we do things a lot differently. We don't call it a cradle, we call it a basket. And when you go into a prep or extension. The backspotter should always hold the ankles of the flyer not the feet, that's the front spotters job. Another thing the bases need to look up at the flyer! Also when your being a back spotter and your calling to go into an extension, always say extension 1..2.. Also when you go into extension the bases should be boob to boob. I hope I didn

[gracefulsurvivor12]

not to be mean but.. the bases ekpt breaking 90 and they should have picked bases that were closer to the same hieght when in an extension the flyer was soo uneven i feel srry for her but she stayed tight that was good!

[cheer4lifexoxoily]

Pretty Good(:

Tryna teach my sister how to fly(: made her watch this 3 times,.... shes 7

[unicornharrypotter]

Are flyer seriosly fell today... it was realy scarey!

[titanicgrl97]

straight up extensions rather than press up from a prep are always easier to me, but maybe that's just me, anyone else think that?

[Pigzpigzpigz]

Am i the only one really annoyed with her High V's?

[peaceloverockc]

The flyer was a little shaky but it looked okay to me.

[Sab3na]

theyre good... just not that good.

[MsBasketballlover1]

Not the best stunts, no ffence

[Jessiethenerd]

We put one foot in at at a time at my acadamy because it gives you so much more momentum and it makes it easier for bases to get synchronisation <3

[titanicgrl97]

when the flyer came down from the extension, it just looked messy and unorganized. just do a bump down! it looks a lot cleaner. and why did she put one foot in at a time for a prep? jw.

[smalltownWI24]

@titanicgrl97 Some squads prep with one foot in at a time and some squads go both in at the same time. It probably just depends on how you are taught. For the flyers on my squad they were taught with doing one at a time but then were taught differently when we went to camp my senior year.

[MidgeMyLove2012]

walk offs are so ugly..

[nhdcheer101]

all you guys need to shut uo just because these girls are better than all of you you dont have to be jeleous! she is a great flyer and the bases are awsome!

[mew11mew]

since when do you go in one foot at a time on a prep?

[titanicgrl97]

@mew11mew that's what i was thinking!

[CarmenIsThaName]

point your toes!!

[Surferlaila]

'these girls are very expierienced and they practice alot' haha- NO!

[titanicgrl97]

why do they have earrings in and why is the flyer's hair down? i never put in one foot at a time either. maybe for a lib, but not a prep.

[oliviamartinez2000]

that is a bad flyer im sorry but you arnt very good

[tizzler678]

that was sooo ugly i thought you were spose to be pro shiiittt



[tabbyroxs04]

What happened to the front? I haven't done alot of cheerleading but I thought that they where important...

[mspolkadot1123]

Okay one, If your a backspot you hold their ankles. Two, when your basing you don't start with one leg up, that's kinda dumb. And three, she (flyer) was off balanced.

[ebruanday]

what are they doing? :s

[melatinasofi]

Bad High V :(

[candycrazy567]

It is a little shaky and the hair down and well most of it was a little scary!

[xfreeakyblonde]

c'est pas supposé d'être avancé j'espère.. parce-que premièrement la fille dans les airs, n'extensionne pas assez ses bras d'après moi afin d'Avoir de l'équilibre, et toute les équipes de cheer sont capable de faire ça je crois..

[StarSingShine]

They do an ok job at showing how to do it but what about safety. The flyer wasn't tight, and the have earings and hair down. I am a freshman cheerleader and i'm a base and flyer and im not trying to be concieted but i can do better

[Jessiethenerd]

I've only flown twice and I can do a better prep than that. Her core was not tight enough , so she was wobbling all over the place. It didn't help that her bases were different heights. If I were that flyer , I would be scared :s

[HeeShee101]

Thhe backspot is supposedd 2 call thhe cradless n' extensions. andd thhe babes r different hights! thhe backspot shuuld swithh spotss with that taller blonde gurl

[CMHsinger]

Gosh! i just started toping and im usually a base and i top better then that!

and there walk off was really badd! yall need way more practice !!!!!

[joannarys15]

our level 3 4 and 5 cradle straight from extension

[DenkouSoshiatae]

Oh yeah these girls are SO experienced. I did a better prep and walk off the first time I ever flew.

[4everCheerleader033]

she needs to freaking fix her cradle!

[4everCheerleader033]

hahahahhahhaha that was soooo good.!!! not.

[haileycheervxc]

my team is wwaayy better dan DAT and im 10 look us up valley xtreme cheer

[LaryForLife]

I have only been a cheerleader for a year and my stunt group can do better than that... :/

[TheUniqueLemon]

they don't even do a prep right.

[EdwardBiebersGrl13]

I'm sry but...u suck.

[thecheeseheads101]

That was soooo horrible! It was uneven! :[

[meetbrooke]

in a proper extension, the flyers feet need to be together, the back spot squeezing and lifting her ankles together, and bases chest to chest.

[blondecheer372]

the coach says they're experienced!?!?

[CookiesNCreamXoXoX]

they count so slow compared to my teams and im 12

[teamgrover101]

I'm an unpro base with me and my friend and her sisters(4) and we are ten times better than them but we learn how to do are stunts by thes

[nakorafree]

wow that craddle sucks. and what's wrong with them, can they not do a stright up extension and cradle from extension

[emily55546]

after u watch thewhole video paude it and press 1. she looks retarded!!! X)

[vicaboo65]

i like pop caradles

[woahhxxlexii]

this is horrible.

[brookesballin]

they are horrible

[TheNyapal]

why is that lady wearing a uniform she's not doing anything

[mct3251]

that flyer has to keep her arms tight, pull up, point her toes, and pull her but up!!!!! i should know, im a flyer

[love9202]

i did this last monday and was the flyer, it was my first time at being the flyer but i found it easy :D

[ItsJustMacy]

y do u count for everything every a walk down n just go up into a full its hard to stop at a half then push her up into a full

[AmberTheWallace1]

butt up and point the toes, !

[Yeida63]

Leave Em' Alone Already. God if Thats The Way They Stunt Then Leavee Em At It.

[lovpnk17]

she called them experienced??? i would b TERIFFIED 2 b that flyer

[lovpnk17]

that flyer has to put her hair up

[rachel3094]

id be scared if i was that flyer!

[profminki]

Bases were uneven the whole time, even with the prep. The were pretty slow with the next sequence and wasn't very good at multitasking.

[Ayy60]

i always do the cradle!!!

[spsnakecake]

Not trying to be mean, but she looks very unexperienced unlike the lady said in the beginning..She is very shaky and so are her bases. I am a flyer at my school and i was expecting something muchh muchh better than this. The coach is wearing hoops i mean "safety is important!" ?!?! DISLIKE :/

[UltimateCheerTube]

umm ur hands need to be in a "T" when u cradle.

[MegaSingingMadness]

I am a flyer at my school, and I go to full extension and full down... why don't you full down or even cradle striaghtly off of full..... i really was not impressed!

[Tinsleyvids]

i cheer... those bases suck... i really shouldnt say anything cuz im a flyer but really they are uneven and it really doenst look safe

[saintsation12]

6th grader to and were way better than that

[summerbabee97]

I can do better than that, it's my second year cheering, and my first time flying, and i can already do a twist up full . and an extention lib .

[oliviahopegardiner]

dude I can do better than that and I'm in the 6th grade

lol!

[ludacris67]

wow, my stunt group can do better than that and i am in the 6th grade!

[TheGL9871]

@ludacris67

mee too. omg they aint good

[abercrombie6151]

@ludacris67 ikr im in 6th too and we can do better than that and we aren't even on a cheer team we just practice at like recess and after school lolz

[blackbras97]

failure

[shauna13100]

wow u guys arent very good hands down really my cheer team is way better than u and we r in 8th grade

[cheyennebby313]

um keep ur but up and your suppost to have a high v at all times and (base) dont leave ur hands waitin for her foot to come to u u have to wait till its the right time then ceach it

[cheerflickchick]

holy crudsky.. can that top not keep her legs together in a cradle? what kind of tutorial shows wrong techniques? OI OI OI

[elliesophliz]

bases r a little wobbly and tie ur hair up! a flyer on our team fell because she couldnt see with her hair in the way

[T33GZ]

that flyer is such a try hard.

[smexygatorfan]

WOW i can do all of tht stuff.....and better im on a allstar team!!! :P

[horsescheerxoxo]

@smexygatorfan what team?

[ImSoKewl16]

*Hair is down

*Jewlery

*ILLEGAL

[AndiShaffer1]

its not tthe flyer is stiff and tight its the bases they are uneven and shaky that extention was really unsafe it was scary waitch and i fave seen arabion basket tosses!

[rubyrock2]

that flyer is a wee bit wobbly...and put your hair up ladies!

[adrianna251]

the backstop should always hold the ankles thses girls are not very expierenced

[cheerleader032497]

oh heeellll no!

mhhm, flyer, you should have your butt in the air, and bases you're supppper shaky!

[JAYJETOUR2011]

That just looks so unsafe... the earrings, the hair down, the shaky and uneven bases... I'd hate to be that flyer! :/

[MHBC16]

@JAYJETOUR2011 Haha! I was just going to say that. Good thing I saw your comment

[missdramaqueen200]

@JAYJETOUR2011 yeah im a flyer and it is scary!!!

[jennakayberry]

I'm 12 and my team does step ups to an extension then cradle down. They arnt very experienced like she said bcuz we do pretty much the same stuff and I'm in level 5 for young champions we have from 5 to 7th grade people on our team and we are just as good.

[prettycheerleader98]

she is very unsteady going up to a extension!

[KamiAndBri]

Arent you suppose to have your hair up like seriously!

[volleyballgurl101508]

safety first...like wearing hoop earrings while stunting

[hottiex4xux]

Also the back base needs to get her hands down to the flyers ankles faster, keeping her hands on her hips will just push her forward.

[hottiex4xux]

It would have been so much easier for them to sweep her after the extension, not just walk her down.

[Crochet091]

that cradle was gross.

safety first? how about you take out those earrings.

[AffordableGlam]

why u put captions all acreoos the video, so u cant even see it?? That SUCKS

[smilelover05]

ahaha I love how their shirt thing =P says bulldogs LOL thats the name of my cheer team!!

[missysisi013]

they look like little robots. hahah

[faithiebug]

@missysisi013 they're supposed to look like that, it has to be perfect.

[WeAreAsianicans1]

sucks they are so not expeirienced



[cheerhick]

@WeAreAsianicans1 and how would u know are u a cheerleader? wit yo stupid self u just jealous cuz' they can do it and u can't

[WeAreAsianicans1]

sucks

[Oxx3rinxxO]

Backspot is nottt supposed to let go of ankles! And the flyer should push off re bases shoulders more, and the main and secondary bases should switch sides, or at least the main should bend her knees. The main should always be shorter than the secondary because when doing one legged stunts it's easier to get up there cuz there's less of a distance.

[mhscheerleader21]

you gotta get the words outta the way. youcant see what the bases are doing so its kinda hard to copy them and learn it

[colebowl93]

it seemed awkward... not saying im the best or anything.

[minnaex3]

why is it called pop cradle?

[K9Karma101]

@minnaex3 Because the bases literally "pop" the fly up as they push her off their hands.

[Cheercid1]

THose uniforms are kind of ugly

[cheerhick]

@Cheercid1 no they r not i think they're cool

[cheerhick]

@Cheercid1 shut up we heard u the 1st time geesh

[ayaBabyyy]

Lmfao i hate my stunt team. We tried cradling and i was doing exactly what I was supposed to do and the missed my feet and dropped me to the floor..

oh and btw the flyer isn't locking out, and her bases are not balanced :/ and when you cradle your supposed to stay stiff. and don't push out your butt when loading in..

[cheerleaderfreak67]

@ayaBabyyy i knw right i hate my team yesterday i had practice and they dropped me because i didnt lock my legs intime and when we cradled they dropped me too.

[jakeballa]

@ayaBabyyy I laughed when they did these. The pop- cradle was done all wrong, like you said, no locking out.

And I've NEVER ever ever seen nor heard of walking down from a elevator/ pre without a front spot.

[love2dancedance2love]

@jakeballa We walked down from a prep without a front spot at cheer camp

[jakeballa]

@love2dancedance2love We lowered them to pocket stand height and then they like stepped off, never walked off from Elevator.

[love2dancedance2love]

@jakeballa Oh I thought you meant from elevator :)

[xcandyapplezx]

Ok sorry but I am a freshman cheer flyer and I can pick out quite a few things that they are doing wrong. 1. You are supposed to load in by jumping in with both feet at the same time, not one at a time. 2. You aren't supposed to sink your butt when you load in. 3. She is NOT tight enough. 4. Her high V is not a V and her hands are facing the wrong way. 5. Her cradle looks bad because she doesn't ride it up at all, and she swings back which you are not supposed to do. No offense.

[love2dancedance2love]

@xcandyapplezx I am also a freshman cheerleader and you can load in one at a time thats how we learned and NCA taught us that way at cheer camp.

She wasn't doing a high V when she was about to cradle she was in touch down.

[cheerhick]

@xcandyapplezx no thats not true u dont always have 2 load by jumping in and 2. u dont have 2 be that stiff otherwise u can pull a muscle

[xcandyapplezx]

@cheerhick well yeah you don't have to, but thats how my team does it and it looks a lot better. And yes you have to be as tight as possible. Trust me I am a flyer and I have been yelled at so much for not being tight.

[chelssmarie3]

i never heard of counting by an 8 count to get into prep.

[webkinzchik322]

the backspotter is supposed to count not a base

[MakeupDruggie]

this honestly wasnt very good. the girls can get more momentum on the lift off if they just jump one time. and when she cradles, her armpits should be on the bases shoulders holding up her weight. this will make it a lot easier to catch and re-load if needed.

[MissCheerleader85]

I'm new to flying, can someone give me a good link to a video of a good cradle, please. i really need to work on my cradle.

[dazzmin]

@MissCheerleader85 just remember to hump the bar before you cradle!

[maketorres]

im a flyer, and i know how to do this :D

[jtajes]

The bases are really good.. but the flyer needs to keep her butt up.... it just wasn't that good... In our cheer squad, we call it a bump down.

[nicolefroehlich]

that flyer needs to learn to keep her butt up!

[volleyballgurl101508]

@nicolefroehlich my coach calls that a "pooping cheerleader"

[ConnorLexiColeTaylor]

this is sooo school cheerleaderish. haaate it.

[EmoDarling1]

The end wasn't very clean

[chlobo2695]

they suck

[MyLifeIsCheer5]

That was horrible...

[elenalikewhatt]

@MyLifeIsCheer5 i knowww! lmao

[CuteGreenApple]

why do they struggle so much to go down? just bump down!

[link74112]

@CuteGreenApple its pop off

[CuteGreenApple]

@link74112 we call it bump down in my high schol cheer team

[elitecheer2]

when u do a cradle and ur a flyer keep ur arms tight

[theaj679]

it looked like the base on the left wasn't looking at the flier

[megankaaay]

Cradles are easy. extensions are hard when your bases arent at the same level!

[comments4daays]

there are words in the way the whole time..

[sammie6002]

@comments4daays haha ik lol

[comments4daays]

@sammie6002 haha. it would be a good video without them. lol

[nene09love]

u guys really helped me out thnxxx

[loveformybf]

that was terrible

[georgiagirl30179]

Our high skewl cheerleaders suck..!

[inderz13]

I'm a junior high cheerleader, & Cradles are hard for me. They always pop me in the face! :/

[TheBlasianInvasion]

@inderz13 middle school cheer sucks. wait until highschool. That's when it gets better~

And in cradles, you're supposed to ride it and then cradle. If they pop you in the face then they're either retarded or they don't pop you high enough for them to get there in time.

[rsmistletoe3]

@inderz13 yea sumtimes if the bases dont catch high enough, the backspot might hit u in the face. but if the bases hit u in the face, then they're pretty talented to b able to catch u and do that at the same time lol

[nikkayysixx]

Haha I know eight year olds that do better looking stunts

[missshellyboo]

god those stunts were the worse i can do better than them and im thirteen XD LMAO

[itsdarby4u]

I'm on a youth team (12-13 y.o.) and we do stunts that are WAY more advanced. This is simple, and not done well at all.

[CKLCHEER]

the flyer needs to lock her arms in the air. she flails everywheree

[BettyandGracie]

tht was a really bad pop cradle

[ashleyshaebug]

one thing u forgot to mention: if it is a younger and/or less experienced team they should have a front spot cos if the flyers feet touch the ground on the cradle it wont count (at a competitiion) either way safety first

What the hell?
