To inspire the crowd, I think you should first inspire the athletes. Cheerleaders and football players. Do they have the drive and determination? Eventually, it'll rub off to the crowd. I love shelbyhowell 's idea to give gift cards. We do that at my school! Whoever has the most spirit during...
While I agree that bases do a lot of work in the stunt, I don't like how flyers are considered the "pretty faces" of a stunt. They work hard, just as hard as bases, but on a different level. Flying takes a lot of mental and body control. It's not as easy as just standing up. Recently, it seems...

I'm sorry if this is a repeated thread, I looked for one everywhere and couldn't find it.
I'm a flyer and recently I've been having trouble doing one legged extensions because of toeing. This hasn't happened before and it's causing my stunts to completely fall. I'm afraid that my inability to...
