brown23 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 2:36 pm: by a mount do you mean a prep/half?
alright the flyer can eiher jump in to the stunt/ bases hands 2 feet at a time. or start with one foot in and bouce up. you dont really need a front spot for this kind of stunt but if you have one, they help pull up on the ankles.
the back spot pushes the flyer's butt up and pulls up on the ankles, helping the bases lift the stunt.
hope this helps.
answer me back with anymore questions on cheerleading:)

Ok, you're putting them into a shoulder-sit, or a shoulder stand, something like that. Front and back spotters stand infront and behind of the two or three people doing the stunt to make sure that if the person doing the stunt falls, they'll be there to catch them. If you have anymore questions, feel free to IM me. [ Sporkster's advice column | Ask Sporkster A Question ]
natalie04 answered Tuesday October 26 2004, 6:43 pm: hey i was a cheerleader for three years. ok, first you need 2 lifters an the right and left side; than a backspotter behind. the only time u really need a frontspot is in full extentions or if you have a new flyer. then the flyer counts one two down up, than jups into theirhands on one than dip it a little than bring her up to their chest.
GloryFadesJ78 answered Friday October 22 2004, 6:28 pm: ok im a cheerleader so i can help. ok so theres 5 people including the flier (the person in the air) heres what u do
1) clap on 1, 2
2) on 3, 4, the base and second base go into a squat positin and the flier puts her right foot into the main base's hands.
3) on 5,6, she puts her other foot in..and on 7,8, you lift her.
so the back spot holds the fliers butt and helps her push off, (the flier is in a kinda squat thing with her hands on both bases shoulders and her butt in the air.)
then the bases have their hand completely around the fliers foot, but rotate when she goes up. they give as much power and they can and so does the flier. then the front spot holds the fliers ankles (if we're talking about an extension) and then when the flier is brought to an extension, the front spot switches to holding the base's wrists for support...
and thats it
and write me back if u dont know how u cradle. [ GloryFadesJ78's advice column | Ask GloryFadesJ78 A Question ]
paradiei3abii3x answered Friday October 22 2004, 4:09 pm: Ok, there has to be at least 3 to 4 people standing on the ground spotting, and the girl that gets tossed should be the smallest and the spotters should be pretty strong. So, the girl that goes up stands in the middle and two spotters on the side that cup their hands for her to stand in, and the girl in the back holds the back of her legs, then the girls that are holding her feet move down a little and they toss the girl up and she jumps up at the same time, and she does whatever in the air, and the spotters all put their arms together and catch her. I guess that the easiest way to explain it.. [ paradiei3abii3x's advice column | Ask paradiei3abii3x A Question ]
l3fty14 answered Friday October 22 2004, 3:10 pm: okay, well two pretty strong people stand facing each other with thier legs bents and feet apart. the flyer put her hands on the two peoples shoulder and jumps into thier feet. at the same time, the two bases lift her up and rotate thier hand so thier wrists face each other and thier hands are on each end of thier foot. the flyer has to lock her knees, and the back spot has her hads up to make sure she doesnt fall. to cradle, at the same time the two bases go down then up and throw her in the air and catch her. the flyer has to keep her legs straight and arms out to the side. the back spot catches her top area and the bases get her legs. make sure u know what your doing before you just go doing this... lol.

Sherry answered Friday October 22 2004, 2:56 pm: Back spots support the flyer while going up in the stunt. Front spots do the same, but dont really do anything after that. They both are there if something goes wrong. I suggest asking a cheer coach around your area or going to a cheer gym about how do mounts and stuff. because its hard explaining on the internet.
