All-Star Unusual Size For Stunt Positions?

[F!ERCE]

Going off of the "my backspot's so short..." thread, if you are an odd size for your stunt position (i.e. a very short backspot, really tall flyer, etc.), could you share your height/size? IDK why I'm so curious about this, but I am.

Would also be helpful if you could mention what age bracket and what level you fall into.

I backspot on a senior team...and I'm 5 ft 2! I don't back the whole routine (based the pyramid, based the baskets, based the 2 man lib section) , but I backed the Libs section all season. I actually love backing, I was new to it this year (I've based/fronted/flown before, but never backed!)

Last year we were Sr 2, but since the end of the season we've been working on Sr 3/4 stuff. Not sure what level we'll be next year, but I'm sure I'll be backing still!

I'm a tall flyer... 5 ft 5. I cheer for college but I was a sidebase on my senior L5 team when I was on all stars.

I main based for my first two years (at like age 11/12)...and I was like 4'9 haha. I was a shorty, but super strong :chestbump:

I base back and fly, hahaha! I am 5ft 1.

I'm 5'4" and I back. It doesn't sound that short, but the rest of my team is unusually tall haha. I still back because I just have alot of experience so I know how to save a stunt or make a stunt hit in so many ways. I've also backed all of our flyers on my high school team at one time or another because of allstars, so I really know how each flyer works and what to do to make them hit better.

I'm 5'6, so I've backed since I started in 6th grade and I'm a really strong back, but I hate it! I started basing in allstars this year. Im the 3rd tallest on my team but girls shorter than me back instead of me because their arms are longer/reach higher. So now I main base and I love it so much.

At school, one of my bases is shorter than me but has longer arms and the other is taller and still has longer arms. So I can't reach my stunt at all. It makes me so mad! Cause my coach is kind of stubborn and won't switch me

I'm 5 foot even and I used to base I believe 5' 8" flyer. Everyone was so shocked I was under her lol.

 

[arilt95]

im 5'3 so im kinda short but all my main bases would have to be taller than me because i have really really long arms for my height so our stunt group always looked like a staircase..

 

[AllHeartxo3]

I can back but I mainly fly and I'm 5'1 5'2ish. People don't trust me to back them because of how short I am but I'm really good at it and will be the first one under you.

 

[obsession24]

i'm 5'6" and back. although, when i was a freshman our flyer was bigger than everyone in the group...height, weight, and size 10 feet!! she was a great flyer though and really held her weight well, we rarely had a problem... level 5 stunting

 

[canttouchthis]

im 5'2 my other base was like 5'1 my flyer was like 4'9 and my backspot was like 5'3

but for the basket when i went in the air my main base was like 5'5 the other base was 5'9 and had enormous shoulders and my backspot she was around 5'7 5'8

 

[kickdblcj]

Im 5'7 and base, all of the flyers on my team are taller than me, and weigh a few pound less than me.

 

[TwistersKatelyn<3]

[mattiemill]
