I’m a flyer and the flyers need to stay tight

[@tonipavlovick4857]

Yeah me too!!! It annoys me!

[@jailyn44]

Me too!!!! I always have to keep tight or else my bases drop me!

[@samzogg90]

These girls worked really hard on these stunts & others and they just won their league Championship Saturday! Way to go!!!!💖🥇

[@Nas00785]

They did good considering their age!! One tip from cheerleader to another, backspot grab their ankles and pull up so that the bases have less weight in their hands!

[@abigalewatterson6123]

As a cheerleader myself I feel like I should give some tips. The bases need to push up with their legs more so they aren't struggling as much to get the flyer to prep. They also need to work on their timing for the bump downs. The flyer just needs to stay tight. The backspot needs to push up while grabbing on the ankles so the bases can get the flyer to prep easier. Other than those things they are doing great!

[@coolishskyler2915]

I'm a flyer on cali all stars and all the flyers need to work on is don't creep up, and stay tight and clean

[@supremelayla638]

what level are you ?

[@emilyrich1317]

ugh i h8 cali

[@notbailey3280]

Ima flyer too when we do prep the 2 other flyers are bumping and I’m falling lol 😂

[@Whoisthis408]

i only have a handful of tips, the flyer needs to lock her legs more and the main base looks like she’s having a hard time getting her up, which usually mean the flyer is pushing off their shoulders enough. one of the reasons the flyers legs might not be locked is because the bases have her foot on their chest which can roll their ankle. The bases could dip a little more and quicker, (load 1-2 dip 3-4 up5-6 hold 7-8) those are the best counts i find to work. otherwise their doing great.

[@kkkrazykaty7640]

why did the backspot look so scared

Kkkrazy Katy 😄as you probably know a backspot is in a scary spot ... so easy to get hurt there so scary when you’re just learning!

Fantastic stunt

[@user-ce7lo9iu9h]

I'm a full time competitive cheerleader. They are doing great! just when the flyer comes down at 1:18 her knees should be together and the bases need to go down at the same time.

[@micaelatellez8870]

I'm a flyer and the flyers legs need to lock out

[@samzogg90]

Thx! Great tip!

[@samzogg90]

@Vanessa Diaz lol 😂 it actually reminds me of another way we would describe how to lock legs & stay tight to the flyers years ago when they were little...a little gross when you think about it but it works...pretend for some reason you’re holding an M&M in your bottom & squeeze super-tight so it doesn’t fall out 🤣

[@proudtobeachristian286]

God loves youu

[@lianaw30]

yep

[@Oliviaclifford2010]

True

[@lylaa5999]

im a base and both left and right bases should use their legs instead of using their arms to help the flyer get to a full. (something u need to know when basing.)

[@Florence-uk6jb]

They did an absolute good job though. Better then I did, first time I got up I ended up falling forward.

[@bebequeen7420]

I’m a back spot and when lifting the flyer you want to grab her hips lifting her up, not wrapping your arms around her. It’s the same with when she is coming down, and the bases don’t need to drop or bring the flyer down the flyers get down when they bring her to their belly buttons and they hop down. Also when the back-spot is grabbing the flyer’s ankles make sure her elbows are pointed out and her thumbs are the only fingers on the back of her ankles. I’m not trying to be rude these are just some helpful tips.

[@Lifewithme97]

As a cheerleader myself, I think I might have some useful tips. Make sure they’re using their legs, not their back and make sure they’re dipping make sure the two side bases are on the same page and always make iContact and make sure that the flier is walking her knees and squeezing And in and for a lib the side base should not have to hold the flyers leg up she should do that for her self the side base should be helping the main base hold some of the wait the back sports hands should be on her side and her ankle

[@sarahhudson3165]

I’m a base and the flyer really needs to stay tight and get her legs together… also THEY WERENT DIPPING WHEN THEY BUMPED DOWN SHE JUST KINDA FELL sorry it made me frustrated and nervous lol edit: sorry for the agression I understand that they are only about 9 and that’s really good for their age but if you don’t teach them proper technique when they first start then they’ll never do it correctly (my coach says that to me and a few of the other cheerleaders on the team almost everyday)

[@Leyla093]

I am a flyer and honestly not very good at staying tight but if she is going to be doing anything more difficult she needs to learn to stay tight

[@sherrysprenkle3876]

I am a flyer and we go in extension, Lib, prep, jump into, hitch, and basket toss.

[@jasoncashio6004]

The only thing they need to work on is the timing and I know that bc I’m a cheerleader

[@samzogg90]

Jason Cashio great point! The Coaches helped them with their timing & after weeks of practice they got the timing & just won their cheer competition Saturday!

[@avaslovinsky9790]

The flyers need to jump in with their legs together

[@ali_thesleepywolf3082]

Cheerleading tips # 1For the sholder sit the flyer needs her arms to be in front more and not at her sides #2 in the sholder sit to pred the girl in the yellow her position is not a back spot it's actually called a third/third base #3 the flyers legs need to be locked in place #4 as a third we your signaling to pop the flyer down you don't say bump down you say ready down five six seven eight one two three four five six seven eight on one the bases lower down and the flyer lowers there arms for the bases to help pop the flyer down on two the bases pop up and lunch the flyer down the third also help kinda lift the flyer up from there you stay crouched half way hands at your side until seven eight you stand up straight

[@LakenLee-zk5yq]

you are so good

[@Mylah41]

This was honestly good but I think that the smush,bump,load needs work, it can help by bases keeping a Strong grip and the back spot really catching here thighs instead of her hips another thing backspot should hold ankle not legs it work much better you can pull up way more, coming from a back spot and base i would say it was very impressive just keep perfecting.

[@samzogg90]

Thank you so much for dropping your knowledge from all your experience being in these stunts, Mylah!

[@Mylah41]

Of course! These girls did great, and have a very bright future as a cheerleader, just the little things that can make them even better 🥰

[@cheerleaderandgymnasts4235]

[@thatonequiteweeb8897]

They did great, but the flyers need to stay tight, but besides that they did good. (I'm a flyer)

[@equestrianbrynn]

A half in my cheerleading gym is called a prep

[@heatherbruss8504]

ok you guys so much the back base dont hold her leg you hold he ankles!

[@kaitlynmanasco3543]

i’m a flyer, flyers need to be tight and squeeze as tight as possible.

[@jay.....lahhhhhh6820]

A basket toss is a really easy stunt if the flier knows how to do it it’s really more work for the flyer to learn then the bases in the backspot

[@lia-mq1on]

i think they did really good for 1st week of practice.

[@zamia2]

You are giving all the weight to the bases but you are doing a good job

[@igavgymnastics2140]

Good Job!!! I'm a flyer but my backspot keeps punching me in my face any advise on how i can be a better flyer? and what my backspot is doing wrong? or am i doing something wrong?

[@samzogg90]

Punch her back of course😄JK! Don’t do that! Your back could try focusing on catching you at your waist for a bump & under your arms for a pop to stay away from your face. You could try focusing on keeping your eyes & head looking forward & up to avoid looking down where a punch might get you.

[@aubreyedwards7890]

I used get punched in the face when I cradled all the time. When you cradle instead of leaning back AND bringing your feet up try to just bring your feet up and keep the front of your body facing forward. It makes you easier to catch and your back spots arms will go underneath yours and won’t have the opportunity to hit you. Hope this helped!

[@alyseelliott3039]

All you can do is stay tight trust and give feed back

[@pinkbugattiprincess]

Make sure everything is tight and your head is up! If you’re talking about a cradle, make sure you don’t sit. When they dip you and let go, you might lean back a little bit which is why you’re getting punched.

[@thebangmaster9273]

The back spot should try catching your shoulder blades instead of under your arms on my team every back spot backspots different when I used to backspot I did a few things that helped the flyer and me for example in a squish I would push up by her but and once she was in the stunt I’d grab her ankles and instead of catching under her arms I caught her shoulder blades that way her hands are in your face and when you cradle and she is less likely to punch you

[@lexibaker1031]

I love this. They make the stunts look so easy. You must be an amazing coach

[@Itsturtle713]

That’s bc the stunts r easy

[@nataliebiah413]

Yass cheer down!!

[@lily-rb9mn]

make sure that the flyers knees and whole body is locked :) other than that it looks reallh good

[@LilyFisher123]

To make a hang drill easier is that they need to bend the bases need to straighten their backs so the won’t get wobbly or so it’s not so hard

[@samzogg90]

Ty for the helpful advice!

No problem

[@proudtobeachristian286]

God loves youu

[@MostlyPoppy]

Your bases need to come closer together the flyer needs to lock the back spot needs to learn😅

[@alexise2201]

Maybe learn one thing at a time instead of just throwing all of the stunts at them , just let them perfect on and move on the another one

[@samzogg90]

Alexis E the administrators require girls to learn these progressions before we let them stunt.

[@samzogg90]

These girls just won their cheer competition on Saturday... after practicing these stunts for weeks to perfect them! Big Congrats to them!!!!

[@anthonychastain2043]

So I do school comp cheer and the flyer needs to be locked out and tight it is the same thing with my flyer

[@samzogg90]

Yes, thankfully 😅 the flyers locked for competition so we had no bobble point deductions!

[@dsfamily2668]

I am a flyer and they need to lock out the bases need to look up at the flyer in the bed but needs to pay attention

[@Kd-mk5jo]

When they squish they need to look at each other and dip lift together.

[@insertusernameh3r3]

On your dismounts, those dips were a little too weak. It looks like they're just putting their arms down. The bases have to communicate and dip on the same count or else the stunt could fall and someone could get hurt. And every time you load into a prep, they're just coming up. They have to dip to give the flyer a warning. I could tell especially in the twist-up that the flyer was doing all the work and the bases just came up slowly and they didn't dip so everyone is just all over the place. They just need to use their legs a little bit more so it can look more clean

[@samzogg90]

Thank you for the great constructive advice for young ladies learning these stunts 👍

[@paigepowers8802]

I saw a few mistakes. The back spot needs to grab the flyers ankles not the flyers legs. The back spot also needs to put the flyers feet together same with the bases. And also they all need to be tighter.

[@samzogg90]

Thx, great points for improvement 👍

[@hollyns_spam4798]

I’m a flyer and a back spot but I know that the base should be dipping and the girl needs to be in a real sponge she’s not getting up right because the bases aren’t dipping at the same time and also they’re barely dipping

[@bruhnyia1102]

they’re gonna need more power going up, the flyer is struggling getting up that’s where a good back base comes in

[@sareenarose2257]

i dont think they were ready for a twist up to prep....the flyer needs to be tight and the bases need to drop down together....but not my team sooo

[@samzogg90]

Thx, good suggestion!😃

[@zoey_chloe5437]

I am a flyer and I'm on a cheer team at my school. The flyers legs need to be locked when she is up in a prep or even in extension. My coach always tells me to pretend there is $1,000,000 credit card in between my butt cheeks and if I drop the card I don't get that million dollars and I lose it forever. And make sure that the bases have a good connection and good bond so that way they can dip together. Also when you're in a lib the base shouldn't be holding on to the flyers foot that's going up. Instead the girl should help the main base hold the girls foot and the flyer has to be able to stand on 1 foot and keep 1 foot up. Make sure the flyers ' are together when she gets up in that position to go up to a prep or extension. That means the bases need to come closer together and closer to the flyer so that way she can hop in with her legs together and the flyers hands need to move toward the flyers feeg not the other way around. At my school when we do bump downs we actually call them squishes so the bases dip and go up to extension but instead of staying in extension they come straight down. Also make sure to have proper counts so the bases and the flyer and backspot know when to dip and to go up into a prep or extension. Some counts that might work are bases: 5678 clean 1, turn To flyer with hands ready 2, wait 3, catch flyer and dip 4, up 5 6, hold 7 8, flyer: 5678 clean 1, wait 2, dip 3, hop into bases hands 4, up 5 6, hold 7 8, backspot: 5678 clean 1, hands on flyers hips 2, help her dip 3, help her hop into bases hands 4, help her go up 5, hands on ankles or thighs 6, hands on ankles 7, hold 8. For bump downs I'd say bases: 5678 dip 1, hands together for flyers feet 2, let her go 3, turn 4, flyer: 5678 wait 1, legs bent and hands on bases shoulders 2, down 3, wait 4, backspots: 5678 dip 1, move feet together and start to hold her thighs 2, bring her down 3, wait 4. I hope this works. Sorry if I'm making you feel like its bad I just wanted to give you some tips from a main and most experienced flyer on a cheer team.

The bases need to look at their flyers instead of eachother.

[@pinkbugattiprincess]

bases are supposed to look at each other not the flyer lol

[@imani3006]

Summer Rinaldi Maybe that’s how it is in your league, but in mine and most leagues, bases should look at the person who’s being held in the air. It’s insanely dangerous and how are they supposed to catch a sigh of unsteadiness?

[@gabrielsabala5109]

•s h o o k v l o g s• yes but there all so has to be good timing and good timing comes from the bases look at each others eyes and being one to make the stunt look better and to keep the flyer protected because if timing is off the flyer will be wobbly and the stunt looks a mess.

[@imani3006]

Gabriel Sabala I’m not saying you can’t sneak peaks at your other base, but I honestly don’t think it’s the safest. You can do what you want, but I’m keeping my eyes at the person whom I’m holding

[@laurensomerdak]

The shoulder sit was completely wrong and unsafe, the flyers legs need to be way closer and they need to dip when they go now that’s why she can’t get down all the way

[@deatontaylor3912]

They were terrible bad example they don’t dip and they are to far away in the prep the bases need to use there legs and the flyer needs to lock her knees and squeeze

[@deatontaylor3912]

Also the bases can’t bring her legs but out when they bump down to a squish also the backspot can’t shake or look away or take their hands off of the flyer that is an illegal move even for a level 4 team and I bet they don’t even have good back walkovers
