    Stunt Timing, Base Doesn't Listen

    I'm on junior 2 and I am a flyer, my stunt group is point and one of the stunts we do is a switch up to heel stretch, kick up scorpion to prep sponge then extension cradle. We usually hit the stunt perfectly except one of my bases always wants to sponge 2 counts early, our coach is getting very...

    Base smaller than flyer?

    I just switched to a new gym, and in one stunt I am secondary basing someone who is at least 4 inches taller than me and weighs a little more than I do. It's a bit too hard for me, and I don't want to fly, so I don't know what to do.

    OT Short Base Probs.

    It seems like whenever I base, I'm shorter than the other base. I can't help it that I'm "fun sized". My coach last season made my 4'8 height aware to everyone by classifying me as a "midget". Some of the girls were very, very tall, at 5'6 and even 5'7. But does anyone whose short have problems...

    Single Base?

    In level 3, would a full team of single base/assisted single base extension libs score more points than a full team of group libs? What if there were mostly full groups with one or two single bases? Thank you! The Fierce Board App! || iPhone || Android || Upgrade Your Account!

    Being A Base

    My daughter is a base but she has not hit a growth spurt like the rest of the girls her age. What should she be doing to make herself a stronger better base?

    L1 Cradle From Double Base, 2 Legged Stunt

    I'm a bit confused by the dismount/release moves for level 1. If I have two bases under a two leg prep, one holding foot and ankle to make the prep legal, but no "back spot," can I legally pop cradle? Andre drewpate

I think i am too weak to hold up the stunt.Anyways, i was a flyer last year but now i base. My flyer is maybe a few pounds lighter than me. She barely squeezes in the air so have a...

    Help A Base With Flying Please!

    So... I've been a base all my cheerlife. And I'm good at that and I like that I can control the stunt and you know, do what a base does. :) Now, I've been asked to fly in the opening sequence and do a show n go to suicide. I was really suprised that I managed that and it was actually kind of...

    Level 2 Straight Up Extension Single Base

    Will we be called for an illegality on straight up single based extensions? They're on one foot until the top. I have seen other teams do this but I know that doesn't mean it's necessarily legal. Andre ?

    Level 1 Single Base In Pyramids

    Okay, In a pyramid, with a single base stunt (base holding both feet w/ a side base holding ankle and foot), if the flyer is braced by someone at prep level can they do a one leg stunt, such as a stretch and/or lib or can they do a hitch where the side person is pushing it up to extention while...

    Becoming A Better Base?

    I want to become a stronger base so that it becomes easier. What excersizes or drills can I do at home by myself that will help?

    Tips For New Base

    I searched the forum, but didn't see any threads specifically for secondary bases. I just became a secondary base. I was wondering if anyone had any drills/workouts/etc because I'm one of the weakest girls on the team, and I'm afraid I'm going to give out in a stunt. That actually happened to me...

    Main Base Tips

    Hey guys, I used to be a backspot but now I am a mainbase.. does anybody have tips on how to get stronger and become a better base? I tend to have a problem of pushing the stunt group over when we go up, which makes it a lot harder for my secondary, and I'm not sure how to fix that.

    High School Base's Contact With Tumbling

    So I have a question partaining to bases coming in direct contact with tumblers. Because Inversions from the ground may now be transitioned into a stunt of any level, would a back handspring entry be legal? If the flyer were to do a standing handspring and simply not snap down her legs...

    All-Star Favorite Base/backspot

    I searched to see if this is already a thread and found nothing so sorry if this is a repost! Everyone always talks about who their favorite flyer is or when they say who their favorite cheerleader is it's usually a flyer. What about the base and backspots? Who are your favorite bases/backspots?
