don’t be discouraged if you’ve never done cheer. i started as a flyer with no cheer experience or prep and i was fine! go for it and believe on yourself

[@americancheerqueen]

i agree 100%!

[@anastasiafine]

HELP!! I have never done cheer before and want to become a flyer. I am gonna be 15 when I star cheer. It will be next year, so is it too late to learn everything and be a flier???

I used to cheer and dance when I was little. And I stopped for a couple years and just focused on my dancing. Now I wanna do cheer again and this visor really helped for my flying! Thank you!!!!

How do you cope when you’re a cheerleader who can’t do gymnastics? ): Would I just have to learn...?

[@americancheerqueen]

It’s totally OK, I didn’t do gymnastics before starting cheer either! You’ll learn a lot of tumbling through cheer. Try tumbling classes!

[@TheMcCoySisters1409]

Maybe a video on how to get your needle!?!?

I’m so glad I am able to help you! What team/level are you competing?

[@sexyminioncracker99]

Erica Lin I’m on level 3 I think I’m not sure. I’m competing lots of different types of levels

[@AriesSeason]

Wow your amazing, could you please do a video on your diet and excise thank you keep up the good work ^.^

[@Sharpiesniffing]

Hi Erica, so this is my first season as a cheerleader and at tryouts I was doing really good flying. I got some practice and the basics and all that, but I don't get any practice at practice because we're working with a competition each week and don't really have time to try new things. I've been doing these for a week now each day for maybe an hour (although a little simpler, libs and arabesques) and today we tried out doing two man stunts, and I was so excited and I thought I was so ready but I couldn't get my butt up the first time :( naturally she put one of the better girls up and she didnt get up for 3 tries and I was sad because I bet I could have done it with more than one chance. It's mostly the fact that while I'm straightening my leg and tightening, we are going up. How would you suggest that I help this? I think just straightening my leg faster would help lol. this is a problem I can find my own solution to, but idk man. this was kind of more of a rant than a question sorry lol. I just really don't want to be spotting for the whole season ya feel

[@rayanna3813]

I always wanted to be a flyer. I made tryouts and my coach made me a base. what should I do?

[@Munkiesrock22]

can a flyer be 5'5? also what are the typical weights for flyers

[@brooklynbowman9688]

Hi, I fractured both of my ankles and have not been able to tumble for about 5 months now, I got injured on the constant pounding of my feet when I tumble on grass, and I lost a lot of flexibility and leg muscle, do you have any tips to help me get my power tumbling and stunts back and how to prevent further injury when I grass tumble?

[@catherineburke7321]

im a cheerleader, and i have been for alot of my life, but im just now getting in to real cheer.. like out of jv. so Im a flyer, and ive done a elevator but im really scared for my extention.. help???

[@Meganstar786]

What program

[@taylorconway1067]

I was just wondering if you have any tips for stopping back pains? I always have got back pains since I started gym why I was younger and I'm putting up with is but I was just wondering if you had any tips? Xx

[@ashley6846]

Do you have anything to help with starting tumbling after injuring your wrist? I lost all my tumbling when I tore tissue in it and I would like to get it back. I can't even hold a handstand on two hands anymore /:

[@cheergirl5561]

can u become a flyer if your a little big because my sis really wants to become a flyer but she is a little big

[@intojae6662]

Do you need to be skinny to be a flyer? I want to do cheerdance soon. But the problem is I'm a bit chubby 🤪

[@sophia7213]

it helps

[@cookingwithcaroline4507]

I have tryouts for my 4th cheer team and I’ve always been a flyer and idk what to do if I’m not bc I’m a 87 pound flyer

[@americancheerqueen]

87 lb is a good size for a flyer

[@rayanna3813]

that's the thing. I am a very shy person

[@oldaccount4652]

I have been flying for the first time in my life for about a week now and I'm already at the twist things with my leg in the air! She said I'm good lol I don't know what they are called 😂

[@blackandyellowxoxo]

I don't have good balance. PLEASE HELP

[@rmaxwell3230]

I ride left so can I pull those with my right leg?

[@presleymcghee6924]

rachel maxwell no everything you pull in stunts is done with your left leg, scorpion bow and arrow scale heel stretch

[@loveline2100]

My coach said since I'm a good flyer I'd be able to do allstar even though I don't have a backhandspring. That's good but I really want to get a backhandspring quickly I have my walkovers and all I just can't get it

[@americancheerqueen]

+litdaegu try my bhs video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF7Yomqnq7etjrc

[@pattyclifford616]

Why do most flyers use their left leg?

[@shinexminion343]

+Erica Lin Yay! Because I thought that I would have to be using my right leg more then my left leg and I'm so glad because my right leg isn't very good, but my left leg is phenomenal so that's great!

[@jinhitentertainment2040]

Hi uhm I have a question, if I'm 5'6 can I still be a flyer?

[@americancheerqueen]

Yes of course! No height limit for flyers (:

[@shinexminion343]

We have the same name!! :D

[@genevieveandvision7673]

My couch always tells me not to balance ... &&' to let the bases do it and just stay tight ? Any thoughts on that ?

[@vicxann]

get a new couch is my advice to you haha one tip is that never bend your knees. If you feel one side higher than the other either tap your leg to tell them to lower it or lean. If you bend your knees they will not be locked and you will fall.

[@jannaromaya9788]

Can u be a flyer if ur tall? I’m 100 pounds and I’m 5’7 so I’m guessing I can’t.

[@americancheerqueen]

You’re a great size for a flyer! I’m always taller than my bases lol

[@amaninwilson]

My middle school cheer season is starting back up and I am in 8th grade. I've made the team every year since 6th grade and I've always been a flyer until 7th grade... the small six graders tried out and since our coach isn't really that much of a cheer coach (she doesn't know much about he importance of holding your weight and etc.) so she put the smallest girl up because of the fetus flyer trend 🙄 I've gotten to fly one or twice but i wasn't a for sure flyer 😭 hopefully this helps me 😀

[@americancheerqueen]

+Sapphire Gamez show her your flying skills - ask her to switch in and out of stunts! ❤️

[@user-fh8ij3xo7g]

There's about 9 flyers in the list and we're having eliminations to only 5. I'll be one of them tomorrow and I have no experience at all but we're all required about Level 2 only, so I'll try it out and see if I can get in! May God Bless Us All

[@americancheerqueen]

Good luck! You got this!

[@user-fh8ij3xo7g]

@@americancheerqueen Thank you! I got to the top 7 but wasn't pick for the 5. However they said I'm a backup incase anything goes wrong. 😊 Still, I did it!

[@briannaiquana]

I have a huge problem with doing cradles and fulldowns because I do squeeze with all my might but for some reason my butt sticks out.. do you think you could help me with tips or tricks that’ll make it so I don’t always sit after a stunt?

[@americancheerqueen]

Can you do a straight ride without caving? That’s important to master that first before trying the full down. Don’t worry about bending for your bases to catch you, that’ll naturally happen

[@briannaiquana]

Erica Lin it’s weird actually, because last season was my first cheer season and I was able to get a full down and my cradle very nicely but for some reason I’ve just seemed to lose it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not used to my new bases or my muscle memory doesn’t work.

[@jayduh3788]

How old are you now and when did you first join cheer i want to join but I don't know if it's too late I'm 11

[@sophiamarino8525]

I am 5”8 and around 160 pounds. I have always dreamed of being a flyer but I think I’m too big to do it.

[@americancheerqueen]

Height/weight doesn’t affect your ability to be a good flyer. Try coed stunting!

[@maddievoisard6788]

do you have to be really skinny to be a flyer

[@americancheerqueen]

No! Just physically fit and good balance and flexibility (:

[@sydneyprice8118]

I am scared of a full extension? 😑

[@americancheerqueen]

Squeeze tight and look up! You got this💖

[@emilynicole2849]

My ankles always roll out even if I'm not stunting and just standing around they roll sometimes any tips to stop them from rolling out :(

[@rubyannmonares3329]

+Emily_Nicole I got the same problem. what I did was try to push my ankles the opposite way if they start to roll out. Make sure your feet are straight when you put them in your bases' hands. If it still won't work,your shoes might be the problem.
