How do you lift into a half in a stunt in cheer?

You start out with your hands out and your legs bent. Then as the flyer jumps into your hands, bounce and then raise her up and while doing so turn your wrists so your wrists face each other raise her above your head then back down to your chest (be sure that when you do this, it all flows together really smoothly). Also, try to keep your wrists together so the flyer has something to stand on. Be sure to keep your eyes on your flyer just in case she loses her balance (this happened to me once. i was zoned out for a split second and she somehow lost her balance and fell but it was a good thing she fell towards the other base and not me!!) You could try to ask others on your team to get some better advice and assistance. If you need anymore help, search for a how to video on youtube. I explained it as well as I could... hope this helps!! (: good luck!! <33

Is cheer better then gymnastic?

In my opinion, yes cheer is better than gymanstics. You can make friends easier because unlike gymnastics it is more of a team sport. Everyone has to work together to either hit a stunt or complete a dance routine. Gymnastics is a necesity for cheer. You are more likely to make a cheer team if you can tumble. Cheerleading in my opinion definitly is more fun than gymastics.
