AboutJames Expertise I can answer questions on the following subjects. Coed partner stunts at any level, group pyramids, all levels of male motions and beginning levels of female motions. I can also give out general tips for tryouts. I cannot answer questions on tumbling or choreography.
Experience I have worked at multiple all-star gyms teaching stunt clinics and classes and have cheered on a collegeiate squad for the past 3 years.
Education/Credentials I am the current male captain of my collegiate squad.
Question I'd love to fly in college. I'm 5'5 and about 125. I've always eaten extremely healthy and cheer on a school and competitive, I don't think I could lose any weight if I wanted to. Do you honestly think I'll be able to partner stunt, and do you think it will effect my tryouts at a university?
Answer Absolutely you'd be able to partner stunt, I had a partner in college who weighed 135 but she was great at holding her weight in the air. Now i'm not going to lie, there will be universities out there (i.e. Louisville, Morehead State...the national elite teams) that you would not geta chance to partner stunt on b/c all of their girls are like 90lbs. But if you can learn to be a good single base flyer at most universities your size won't be that much of an issue.
