About Katlin Expertise I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.
Experience I have cheered for 7 years for an all star team. We traveled out of state. I was a flyer but I know how to base and backspot.
Organizations I am on an all-star team and high school team.
Publications In the newspaper.
Education/Credentials I am captain of the girls basketball cheerleading squad.
Awards and Honors Nationals more than once, many different places.
Question QUESTION: I have a question. If you have a back tuck and back layout on the trampoline, the tumble track, and the sting mat in the pit, then is it o.k to try to do it going down a hill? Say the hill is in your front yard. OR is it too dangerous. I mean you know the drill and you land it everytime.
ANSWER: Hey Nicole,
I would say do not do it down a hill. If you have a cheese mat (down hill mat) at your gym have your coach/instructor spot you down tht .. then if they tell you it is ok go ahead and try it down the mat by yourself .. move down the mat each time you land 2 .. once you are almost all the way down the mat .. i would ask your coach how you are doing .. and if it is ok if you were to try it downhill like in your front yard .. this is also relavant to how comfortable you feel doing it .. i have my back tuck on the ground , and I can't bring myself to do it downhill.. but i can do it on the grass .. so it is just your comfort...
GOOD LUCK!! LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES .. BE CAREFUL
Sincerly,

QUESTION: Thanks for the advice,
I'm not currently enrolled in a class. I'm trying to do it myself. I'm trying to get over this mental block that i'm having. i get my sister to spot me on the grass and i still seem to not do it. i'm trying to do it for self satisfactory. i do it on the tramp. and the sting mat and do it perfectly every time. on the tramp. i don't even jump. Any HElP??? PLEASE cause i really want to do this!
Answer Heyy ,
YOu probably are not going to want to hear this but you need to go to a class this will help you because they can make you do it whether your body wants to let you or not .. don't have your sister spot you unless she is qualified you could get hurt both of you could .. GOOD LUCK LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!!!
