Forks High School Twilight Cheerleaders Learn The Basics of Cheerleading

1. Base - A person who is in direct contact with the performing surface and is supporting another person’s weight.

2. Basket Toss – A stunt in which a top person is tossed by bases whose hands are interlocked.

3. Bracer – A top person that is supporting another top person in a pyramid.

4. Cradle - A dismount from a partner stunt, pyramid or toss in which the top person is caught in a face-up, piked osition before being placed on the performance area or remounting into another stunt, pyramid or loading position.

5. Cupie/Awesome - A stunt in which both feet of the top person are in one hand of a base.

6. Dive Roll - A forward roll where the feet leave the ground before the hands reach the ground.

7. Double Based Suspended Roll - Dismount or transition with a foot-over-head rotation.

8. Elevator/Sponge Toss – A stunt in which the top person loads in to an elevator/sponge loading position and is then tossed into the air.

9. Extended Stunt – A stunt in which the entire body of the top person is extended in an upright position over the base(s). Chairs, torches, flatbacks and straddle lifts are examples of stunts where the bases’ arms are extended overhead, but are NOT considered to be extended stunts since the height of the body of the top person is similar to a shoulder level stunt.

10. Hanging Pyramid – A pyramid in which the top person’s weight is primarily supported by another top person. Examples of hanging pyramids are: a person being suspended between two shoulder stands; a "whirlybird" stunt where one person’s weight is being supported by the legs of a top person in a shoulder sit; and a "diamond head" where two persons are suspended from one shoulder stand.

11. Helicopter Toss - A stunt in which the top person is tossed into the air in a horizontal position and rotates parallel to the ground in the same motion as a helicopter blade.

12. Inverted – A body position where the shoulders are below the waist.

13. Knee Drop – Dropping to the knees without first bearing the majority of the weight on the hands or feet.
