IT’S week four of our cheerleading video tutorial series, and we’ve got a pretty advanced stunt this time around.

Single-base stunts are some of the most difficult in cheerleading – with only one base supporting one flyer – but the cheerleaders in our video make light work of it. In this week’s episode, they do a single base extension with a liberty and twist cradle dismount. They threw in a back walkover out of the cradle just for fun.

Sounds complicated? Well, it is. Just watch the video at our R.AGE YouTube channel (youtube.com/RageOnlineTV), where you can also find the last three episodes.

And as usual, don’t try this at home…

Stunt name: Single base extension with liberty and twist cradle dismount.
Level: Intermediate-advanced

Step 1:
Start with a liberty grip.

Step 2:
The base and spotter drive the flyer up. The base turns and holds the flyer’s feet at extension while the spotter holds the flyer’s ankle and the base’s wrist.

Step 3:
The base and spotter lower the flyer to shoulder level, and push her up again while holding only her right leg. The flyer lifts her left leg to perform a liberty heel stretch.

Step 4:
As the flyer dismounts, she twists her body mid-air until she makes a full rotation. She then assumes a cradle position and is caught by the base and spotter.

Step 5:
The base and spotter lowers the flyer while she does a back walkover out of the stunt.
