Who Is Tired Of Flyers Getting All The Credit For Amazing Stunts?!

[true.believer*]

AMEN.

I was always a base, and sometimes it would bother me that my flier would get all the credit, but you have to remember that they're usually taking all the heat if they mess up in front of a crowd too! So it goes both ways. I don't think that any athlete is "better" than another just because they fly, base, back... Saying that fliers are the best cheerleaders just isn't fair, just like saying bases/backs are the best - we all do different things and when it comes down to it, we all need each other!

i agree! to make the stunt work everyone is equally important. I have based and flied and I think they are both hard and deserve the same credit

Backspots get *NOO* credit. Ever.
Idk how many times people have told me backspots are just there to catch. Seriously??

My daughter adores her backspot!
I think flyers get alot of credit but also alot of blame when a stunt goes wrong. The flyer is always at fault!

 

[Fameous MOM]

i feel like the flyers are also blamed when the stunt falls.

yes because when asked how a team did the first thing people say is "flyer's name" fell! I hear it all the time!

 

[stuntjumptumble]

SO true. I'm a flyer, and I give all the credit to my bases. After all, I wouldn't be up there without them

all the flyers have to do is lock their leg and perform the skill the bases are the ones doing the work they are the ones wasting all their energy in that stunt then they have to move to the next formation exhausted

the flyers have to do way more than just that!!

Flyers also are at risk if they don't have a good bases...fliers also take all the flak when the stunt doesn't hit...it's a WE thing....they are all equally important, none would be of any good without the other!

So, does TinyBeast agree? Bet she doesn't!

K BUT!!!!! ..... When a Stunt group falls at competition you NEVER hear omg base 1-base2-backspot dropped that stunt....BUT u do hear (put flyer name here)_________ fell ! So look at it that way as well. Can't tell you how many times when someone has ask "how did such n such team do?? O they did good but flyer X fell. You don't here them calling put the bases names.

Each person does a job on the team, with any of you the team would not work the same

SHIMMY x 100!!!! this is so true!

I hate at practice when they call it "[flyer's name] stunt" but then when the stunt falls the bases get blamed when usually it is the flyers fault, not saying bases are perfect and all but majority of the time (for my stunt group) its the flyers fault and my stunt group ALWAYS gets blamed for it. Don't get me wrong my flyer is amazing but when she stick her but out on a full up to lib and we try our hardest to save the stunt she yells at us for not trying hard enough and we get yelled at for not catching her heel when i did...its like "i know what i did....?"

story of my life! i used to fly last year and now i base. i base a girl who has a good 30 pounds on me and every time she hits a stunt its never good job bases its always good job flyer. if it wasnt for the 3 people underneath her then that stunt wouldnt have gone up to begin with. the ONLY TIME me and the 2 other bases get recognized is when the stunt goes wrong but we somehow manage to keep it up in the air........news flash if the flyer was SOO good her bases wouldnt have to struggle as much to keep it up in the air!

if it wasnt for the flyers there would be nobody to put in the air!!

flyers should get the most credit because they are actually the ones doign the stunts in mid air but they can mess up and fail but sometimes its the bases fault. so its spread out evenly . and flyers haev a lot of pressure on them since they are actually the ones beign seen to have made the mistake when really it was probably your fault so cut them some slack. everyoen should work hard .
