Question
Hi! Im a flyer for our cheer squad and im 5"8! My bases are alot shorter than i am. Should I be flying? if so, what tips would you give to me?
People don't realize that height has nothing to do with if you fly or not. It depends on your ability and your fitness (weight). So yes, you should be flying. My tips would be to trust your bases and spotters and if think you something is wrong in your stunt, direct your bases and tell them what they need to do to fix the problem! Have confidence (smile)!
