Question
hi lol i was wondering what it's called when you stunt with only two people like there's one flyer and then one really strong man putting you up there. is it just stunting or is it called something else because i was interested. and also i use to do all kinds of back flips but then once about a year ago i fell and my neck hurt so bad for a week and i was crying and it was terrible and now i'm scared of jumping back and doing a back handspring and i should just suck it up right?
Hi Gabby,
The answer to your first question is Partner Stunting. One guy and one girl (or sometimes 2 girls).
As to your tumbling, you should make sure that your doctor says you're okay to be tumbling. If that's a go, then go easy at first and get spotted until you get your nerve back up, but unfortunately yes, you will just have to suck it up.
Good luck to you! I know how much mental blocks suck!!
Happy Cheering,
Kimmi
