How do you do a back handspring tuck?

If you are doing tumbling before it, such as a back hand spring, or if your just doing it standing, when it comes to the tuck these are the steps to follow.

1.) Do some warm-ups first. Like, jumping as high in the air as you can with your arms up to get the feel of where you stop in the air.

2.) When it comes to doing the flip, start with your arms up. Keeping your chest up use your arms to help swing you into the air.

3.) When you get to the highest point of your jump you will bring your knees to your chest and rotate backwards.

Keep in mind this flip will go fast and it does always happen the first time.

Make sure you have someone who knows what they are doing spotting you.

You can't just make yourself rotate backwards in mid-air. You have to initiate the rotation in pushing off the floor by pushing your hips forwards. Then when you tuck it speeds the rotation up.

a happy excited type person because your supposed to smile A LOT

athletic so you dont get tired too easily doing all the routines you need to be strong

I feel the most important three are

-Sportsmanship- Being able to win or lose with grace, being able to congratulate another team, not spreading rumors or talking down about other teams

-A positive attitude- Being ready and focused at practice, always being willing to try something new, being friendly and cooperative

-Spirit- Having respect for your coaches, representing your program in the most positive manor you can

What are the names of the 1977 Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders?

There has been some controversy in regards to the actual line up but as far as putting the pieces together this is what is certain; Suzie Holub (center) was a Dallas Cheerleader for only one year, 1976.

In conversing with actual DCC Alumni and other collectors and historians, the actual line up is as follows :

  • Kris Marullo
  • Suzette Russell
  • Suzie Holub
  • Cynde Lewis
  • Debbie Wagener

Kris is not listed anywhere by name with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. She ended up leaving the squad for some reason, but usually when a cheerleader doesn't finish out the season, they are not officially recognized.

A copy of the poster is viewable in the related links.

A take off of that poster was published by Playboy Magazine in January of 79 with Farrah Fawcett-Majors on the cover. A group of ex-Dallas Cheerleaders formed their own group called "Texas Cowgirls Inc."

They closely resembled the Dallas Cheerleaders but would perform with less restrictions that the DCC maintained.

How many calories will you burn if you do 30 cheer-leading jumps?

How does cheerleading and physics relate?

In cheerleading, many stunts involve kinetic friction. For example, take the basket toss. When I flier falls back into their basket, their is a kinetic friction between her and the arms catching her. This, along with the distribution of their downward force through the catchers, helps slow the flier to a stop. Another example is in coed partner stunts. When the base tosses his flier, there must be kinetic friction between the the two (on hands, wrists and waist) especially during the flick.

You WILL pass out or become very ill if you dont drink enough water. 3. Keep yourself clean, no one wants to stunt with a smelly flyer, base, or backspot. 4. Don't just stretch during practice, stretch at home, and go running as much as you can. 5. Whatever you are working on whether it be tumbling, stunting, or motions, you need to stay tight. Flyers- always be squeezing your booty!
