i cant get them high enough and im always in the wrong positions. i also need help with basing. i was a flyer last year but this year i think im going to be a base. if u ever were one do u have any suggestions? thank you!

Yes! I do have experience! I am currently a base.
For your jumps I would say to hunch your back more forward and spread your legs out the sides not forward (for toe touches). For basing I would say to have balance and do push ups to strengthen your arms. Always communicate with your stunting group.
