[Abbie]

[Katy]

aww wow, those pics look cool

I woke up this morning in my clothes from last night on my bedroom floor, apparently it was a good night last night although i have been in formed i was talking to police offices and i told one of my lectuirers i fancied him as he was in the student union. That could be embarrasing come monday. Finally tidied my room, i had to as my dad is coming up on saturday and now need to work but someohow ended up on soa[boards.

pics continued (sorry to anyone else for taking up this thread lol!)

lib/liberty (again can have a front spot but not compulsory)

you can do other stretches in this stunt/position apart from a lib, such as scorpians, scales, bow and arrows, arabesques, heel stretches etc but we dont do those yet as my housemate is the only flyer in our squad flexible enough to do those positions! the website below has pics of them though)

shoulder sit (we usually do handstand into shoulder sit where the flyer does a handstand against the bases back, the base holds the flyers leg over her shoulders and the flyer pulls herself up using her stomach muscles into the shoulder sit)


deadman (couldnt find a pic of a deadman but basically the flyer is lying flat on their back and the bases, backspot and front spot are holding the flyer up from underneath so the flyer is lying on their hands; to extend it, everyone apart from the flyer straightens their arms so the flyer is above them)

chair (we started learning this at the end of last term but found we werent strong enough to do it lol! one of the american footballers managed to do it though! so we are now doing an assisted chair which is the same as the pic but there is an extra person helping the base get the flyer in the air by holding onto their wrist of the hand which is under the flyers bum)


cradle (cant really describe this with words/pics but the website below has a video of one, scroll down til you get to "cradle" theyre in alphabetical order! although the bases shouldnt be moving around when you do a cradle, you should stay standing where you were at the beginning) - hope im allowed to post this link

it is lots of fun! i wanna hurry up and learn lots of new exciting stuff though! but atm we are spending our time doing lots of conditioning instead which i hate!

also we did a pyramid at our competition (exactly like the one in the pic), forgot to add it in my other post, just thought id post it cos i love doing pyramids lol!

though i think we need some guys on our squad to make it easier and so we can do the more spectacular pyramids!

[Abbie]

Ooooo! are one of the people that go in the air or you one of the strong people that support the people

last year i was a back spot as i thought i was too weak to be a base lol and front spots are boring! cos we are all girls i think im too tall to be a flyer but one of my housemates (i live with 3 other cheerleaders!) is convinced they are going to fly me this year (not really sure why cos there are loads of really small freshers, and 3 out of the 5 flyers from last year are still here) but ive flown before at our open trainings and its really fun and im not bad at it either after i got over the scaryness of it lol! i had to base on friday and i dont really like it although i found out i am strong enough to do it this year! if we manage to get guys on our squad though then id love to be a flyer! ill probably/hopefully just stick to being a back spot this year though as im good at that and know what im doing lol!
