Have you seen the cheerleaders do their famous "flippies?" Do you ever wonder what goes into these flips? Many of the cheerleaders have gone to tumbling classes since they were very young. Flip flops are the first stunt you need to learn for cheerleading. This is the most common. Nearly all the floor cheers have one. Back tucks are the next hardest. Standing back tucks are pretty difficult cause you have to remember to pull up all the way with your arms and pull your abs in and tuck your legs. Our cheerleaders are known for our "flippies" also known as fronts, and flippie things. While we have not been able to do these for a while because we don't all do them right we hope to bring them back at homecoming. Make sure to look for them. Our cheerleaders are very strong in their tumbling and sometimes we take it for granted. Bystanders don't realize that a lot of work goes into these "sweet" tricks.
