Cheerleading

Basics

Jumps- Ok there actually many jumps but you hardly ever see any of them...i'll show you the 2 most use jumps.

<- this is my favorite jump!  Ok it exactly what it looks like, a strale in the air.  And yes it is fairly difficult and takes time to prefect.  Basicly, your put your arms in a High V go up on your toes, jump and kick your legs up.  But there are lil tricks to help you.  First of don't try and reach for u're feet that will make u bend forward...instead let u're feet come to u, keep your back straight!  Another problem people run into is snapping they're legs together at the end...many people land apart which is very sloppy...it takes time but try snapping your legs close together when u feel your body coming down.  And land w/ u're legs slighty bent.

<-Herky...this is a jump where one leg is straight(doesn't matter which one) and the other leg bent to the side....it's hard to explain...lol...look at the pick...The thing i see w/ a lot of unexperienced cheerleaders is they put their straight leg out to the front....both legs should got to the side not the front.

Moves- if u cheer u have to know the basic moves...they're in just about every cheer
