Should a boy be a cheerleader for Halloween?

He should be prepared to have this haunt him for the rest of his life. In this age of digital connectivity, the digital pictures will NEVER go away. It will destroy any chance of a political career, and will follow you to your jobs, and resurface to screw with your relationships in the future. It would be a lot cooler to go as Octo-Mom.

are you crazy!!!wtf

ANSWER

I would recommend that he goes as a cheerleader. But if you do that youll need makeup, a wig, cheerleading clothes, nail polish, and he'll want to learn to have a high voice (this is not nescessary but it is a good idea). Halloween is the only safe time for crossdressing. A couple of years ago my sis and gf bribed me into going as a cheerleader for our school. I went in pink nail polish, wig in a ponytail, pink lipstick and gloss, pink shadow, liner, and blush high heels, and cheerleading short skirt (note that they held me down and shaved my legs and i hated it). He really needs to decide if he really wants it.

How do you do cheerleading tricks for begginers?

well what do you define as a beginners backflips? A backflip is simply four steps:

1.Jump up not backwards, it depletes your height if you jump backwards, you also need to throw your arms up into the air(this really makes a difference if you don't do this you will get little height and probably hurt your self).

2.Tuck really tight when your at the peek of you jump, that means grabbing your arms around your legs and pulling your legs into you body tightly.

3.lean backwards so you rotate.

4.spot the ground and land, mostly its a feeling, when you feel your body is about upright just untuck and try to land.

some tips: start by getting a spotter to help you filp. all the spotter has to do is put 1 hand on your back and 1 hand near your thighs. also try going to a gymnasim.

You can do what i did which is learn on a trampoline or some people pools, then try off some high platforms i did it off sand dunes at the beach, the moved to grass slops and finally flat ground grass and concrete. BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WAY!!!!

This move requires a hell of a lot of confidence so if you are really scared DO NOT DO IT BECAUSE YOU WILL BAIL AND REALLY HURT YOURSELF!!!!!!!

Heres some youtube tutorials I used when i first started:

This leads on to some really cool moves like x-outs, flash kicks and gainers.

REMEMBER THIS IS A VERY DANEROUS MOVE SO PLEASE BECAREFUL!!!! DO THIS MOVE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Have fun and good luck! :)

How old do you have to be to have cheerleading class?

I'm not quite sure if you mean teach cheerleading or if you mean to take a class yourself...

Usually to take a cheerleading class the youngest age is usually 3 years old. To teach a cheerleading class I'm not sure, it usually depends on the gym/studio that you want to teach at.

Sorry, hope that helped a little(:

Why would someone try out for a cheerleader?

It's a fun experience. In a way, it's kind of like a sisterhood where you have a whole team that will support you and give you advice on just about anything (especially if you're an underclassmen).

Are you too big to be a flyer in cheerleader if you weigh 120llbs and are 5 foot 6?

I feel ya sister! Im about 5 foot 5 and i weight pretty much 120. im a cheerleader and my dream has always been to fly my coach actually let me for a while but the thing you really have to look at is where do you stand in comparison with the rest of your squad? are you the tallest? (usually height is a bigger deal than weight i promise.) if your not then your weight really shouldnt matter. ( i see this is under diet and weightloss. you dont need to loose any weight to fly you are fine the way you are! ) and if u are the tallest (like me sadley) or the strongest..(like me even more sadley..) chances are you wont get to fly ( like me saddest lol) i know its not cool. If you can do some stunts like scorpion or heel stretches like me that gives you a better chance. SO BASICALLY all you need to look at is are you too tall? and are you good enough? if your like me^^ then you will see your chances arnt that great but if you actually arnt tallest or whatever you prolly wont end up as a backspot like me.. :P

Love,

JV Wildcat cheerleader(:

It really does depend on the rest of those on the team. You're flexibility also matters a lot. You can be the teeniest kid there but if you don't have all your body positions you probably won't fly

What is the most important positon is cheerleading?

In a cheerleading stunt all positions are important. A flyer is important obviously, because they are the presenter, they are the focus of the crowd, and that job requires a lot of muscle in the arms. A backspot is also very important because they lift and support the ankles, and give the flyer the initial push to get her up, also if anything goes wrong they must catch the flyer. The bases are also important, because they create a safe place for the flyer to stand, and support her legs if you cradle (to finish off the stunt).

Is swimmind harder that cheerleading?

my personal answer to this would be no. cheerleading takes every single muscle in your body to do everything, swimming is mainly just your arms and legs. i have been a competitive cheerleader for 11 years now and I'm 14 years old. so i think i would know about cheerleading..
