    I absolutely love your channel! It helps me so much with my positions, I am a beginning flyer and I just quit 10 years of gym so there is kind of a change for me! lol. But I just wanted to thank you bc I have a lot of trouble with keeping my butt in when im flying and I now kind of have a low confidence level when I fly, I was just wondering if there id anything you maybe think about while in the air that could maybe help me???

    I'm 13 (nearly 14) and I'm 5'2" but have stopped growing and I'm around 95lb. I've done dance for a while and I'm very flexible, do you think I would be a good flyer? If you don't think so plz don't say I would, I want to know honestly what stunting position I would be best in😊💗.

    • @ericalinx
      @ericalinx  7 років тому +1

      +Alli H I think you would be a great flyer! We are both around the same size, and come from a dance/flexibility background. Take coed stunting privates - learning to balance in the air might be a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze! 💖

    • @graysonupchurch
      @graysonupchurch 6 років тому +1

      Alli H if you are in a higher level you would most definitely be a great flyer also remember your weight doesn’t matter that much as long as you can balance yourself

    • @user13976
      @user13976 6 років тому

      sawyer edwards if you are already eating healthy keep doing that but if you aren’t try to and I think a workout would be a really good option and there’s a bunch of videos on UA-cam how to lose Weight

    • @user13976
      @user13976 6 років тому

      Lily Upchurch the Weight kind of matters because I’m a base and even if they are really flexible and can balance if the base can’t lift them they are not going to be a flyer

    • @AndreaSanchez-bl3jd

  • @nicholasmcarthey4116
    @nicholasmcarthey4116 8 років тому

    Should I be doing the "exercise" portion first so that my muscles are semi-warmed before stretching? As of right now I just run a few miles before hand. But have you noticed any differences?

    • @ericalinx
      @ericalinx  8 років тому

      I usually stretch first, that's my personal preference. However, if you find that having your muscles warmed up helps you stretch, do the exercise portion first. 👍

    • @ericalinx
      @ericalinx  5 років тому

      Stay REALLY tight when you go to extension. You could also have your coaches base you in an extension - they’ll be more experienced so it’ll be easier to stabilize!

  • @jilld7911
    @jilld7911 8 років тому

    This is a nice video! But very extreme i recommend that if you hold each stretch for 30 seconds and hold splits for as long as you can and working to this do not push yourself this hard at first work your way into it!

    • @jilld7911
      @jilld7911 8 років тому

      And also for the strengthening portion, start with 2 sets of 10 or however you want but i recommend starting slow and working you way up there

      Weigh doesn't really matter tbh. I've based a 100 pound girl and a 140 pound girl before. I mean yeah it's good to keep in shape for cheer but it comes down to keeping tight and holding your weight as a flyer and the bases will love you.
