i've been in cheer for about a year and i have always been a back base in stunting. this year i want to learn side basing. i am doing main base actually. i've done it a few times so i know how to do it, but its still a little difficult. i know how to use my arms and legs and NOT my back, but its still hard. when i have to base liberties, and all the weight is on me, and i have to go from the ground all the way up, it kills my back! i use my legs and arms as much as i can but no matter what i always am sore when i get home. i do back stretches and strengthening, but until that starts working, any advice for while i'm stunting? i already have bad back problems in my family, and this will make it worse for me when im older! THANKS FOR READING AND ANY ADVICE IS VERY APPRECIATED! and im 15 =]
jazziepink09 answered Thursday June 5 2008, 10:03 am: stunts are a group effort. everyone has their own job. maybe the other bases arent holding their weight. the flier needs to hold her weight and the backspot and the other base have to hold their weight too . there is no reason why you should be holding all of the weight. your parteners should be supporting you. tell them to. hopew i helped
