Kansas State University Cheerleaders

How to:

Bases: Using legs, dip and extend hands up over head, stepping in close to other side base. As flyer comes down be sure to use your legs to absorb the weight. After flyer is caught, turn towards the front and set flyer onto ground.

Flyer: Stay tight while bases dip (don't bend your knees!) At the top of the pop snap hands to sides and feet together, pulling your belly button up towards the  ceiling. Once you feel you have reached the highest point of the pop and are beginning to descend, pike legs and reach outwards, catching arms around bases shoulders and back of neck. 

Backspot: Dip and release flyer's ankles, extending upwards. Make hands into fists, and catch flyer under armpits bending your arms at the elbow to pull flyer in toward you. Resist weight down. To release, extend arms forward.
