Flyer

• This article refers to "flyer" about 30 times without saying what a flyer is. Needs a first reference.148.75.167.151 (talk) 21:06, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Merge

• No, it is a list, rather make a section in the cheerleading article about the tumbling/ stunting elements of cheerleading. Maddie ^{was here} 19:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

yes, merge iing article.

• NO this inforamtion was already removed from the general cheerleading article once. It should not be added back as it makes that article to long and off topic. MsDivagin 14:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

• NO Actualy - "List of Cheer leading Stunts" Should be Renamed and article on Stunting (Cheerleading) just like you a section on Uniforms (Cheerleading) or Cheers (Cheerleading). Beac h Rugby gets an article - Stunting (Cheerleading) Should get an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.82.126.100 ([[User talk:65.82.126.100|talStrike-through texttember 2009 (UTC)

Groupings

Should basket tosses be under the heading of dismounts? They're really a whole seperate thing, and this is reflected on score sheets Itsawayoflife 03:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

No, a basket toss is not a dismount, it is a toss and falls under a seperate category as sorced by USASF Kirsten5400 (talk) 19:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Cupie/Awesome Debate

I have updated the article to reflect that a Cupie and an Awesome are the SAME stunt & cited the USASF Glossary as the source. For those who are unaware, the USASF is the governing body for US Allstar cheerleading and the producer of the Cheerleading Worlds on ESPN. I would consider them the MOST authoritative source for this information. Please don't change this unless you can provide a more reliable source that states that these are indeed 2 different stunts.

Confirmation, a Cupie and an Awesome are the same stunt, the name just varies from region to region.Kirsten5400 (talk) 19:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Clarification - Those are college level COED Stunts. Cupie is the UCA Term with off hand on hip. An Awesome is NCA Term for the same grip with off hand in a High V motion. The UCA / NCA differences lead to the regional uses of the terms. They are the same stunt with a different motion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.82.126.100 (talk) 14:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Show and Go

Show and Go should not be under the category of dismounts as it is not a way to return a flyer to the ground, but a separate stunt. Kirsten5400 (talk) 19:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Correct Information/ Changing Information

Please do not change any of the information given in the athletes involved section. I don't know who tried to combine back spot and main base into back base(there is no such thing), but all that information was incorrect, and did not make sense. All the information given is sourced by the official rule-making body USASF (United States All-Star Federation.) Please do not change the terms to the ones you use at your gym, slang, or regional terms. The ones given are correct by USASF standards.

Correction: In the UK the back spot is also called the "back base" or just "back", but as this is slang rather than official terminology, should it be used? Sean 86.9.125.200 (talk) 11:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

In the U.S. we also refer to the back spot as the back. But the back spot and the main base are not the same thing, and they had been merged into one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.117.94.114 (talk) 20:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, "; twist of fate :bases by two people the jump landing on your feet." is not a legit stunt. If you could give an actual sefinition maybe, but that doesn;t even maje sense. Note:Please do not post stunts that your gym has made up. For example my gym does a stunt we call the throwback. This is not an actual USASF stunt, but instead it fall under the head of basket tosses.

A front spot should not be listed as "(required for advanced stunts,)" as they are typically NOT used at advanced levels, whether it be level 5, level 6, or collegiate. Front spots are only used for advanced stunts if there are too few extra athletes to form a new stunt group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmsCheers (talk • contribs) 06:57, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Not to be a snob - but the whole section reads from a Youth Allstar perspective and Rule Book. NCa, UCA, and NCAA rules are also relevant for legitimate variations seen at higher skill levels - i.e. COED College and COED Professional.

In College & Professional COED a Stunt is Almost always a Partner Stunt. Pyramids may go 3 high, and are not considered stunts. Basket tosses are the same semantic difference in terminology.

Would be nice if somebody updated the article to include Coed, College, or Professional level stunting. Though the discussion should be categorical - a List of Coed Stunts would keep a room full of guys busy for weeks - because the originator typically names the stunt; and It's often hard to figure out who did it first. Many partner stunts are so difficult there are only a few hundred guys around that can base them, i.e. full up rewinds or tick tock layouts - Which I saw Pat Wedge do at NCA Nationals Stuntfest in '98 when he was Coaching University of Texas. It was from an extension. But to see a girl essentially do a single base layout from extension landing in extension is something I only saw one couple do; they get to name it.

Also worth mention that beyond basic cheer leading methodology, most stunting terms and names are adapted from Gymnastics and ice skating.

A show and go is a stunt where you put the flyer up and then back down it's very simple a two-legged stunt if you have experience or did competitions before —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.109.239 (talk) 17:56, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
