Flyer and bases: Load into a prep (ready to do a lib). 
Flyer: On the correct count jump and push off the ground with your left foot. Keep all your weight on the right foot. Once at the top, keep your chest up, and feet together (do not hit a liberty).
Main Base: On the correct count lift the flyer straight up, using primarily your legs, following through with your arms. At the top, lock your arms out. Make sure that the stunt is over you, don’t lean forward or throw with your back. This will cause serious back pain.
Secondary Base: Having one hand on the bottom of the foot and the other on top on the foot (almost like your gripping a sandwich), on the correct count push the stunt straight up. Make sure you are close to the main base, as well as keeping the stunt over top of you.
Back Spot: On the correct count push the flyer up, with your left hand under her behind, and your right hand on her right ankle. At the top, hold the right ankle with both hands, making sure that the stunt is at the top and taking weight off of the main and secondary bases.
Flyer: With your left foot, kick up a heel stretch.
Main, Secondary bases, and back spot: keeping everything the same, secondary base may drop the left arm for show.
Flyer: While performing the power press, hold your heel stretch. Be sure to keep your body very tight, as well as keeping your chest up.
Main Base: On the correct count, dip with your legs, giving the flyer a slight “pop.” Keeping the flyers foot close to your body bring her foot down into a sponge position, then lift the flyer back into the extended position. Make sure that you keep your feet in place and be sure not to move around under the stunt. Beware the flyer will grab your shoulder.
Secondary Base: On the correct count, dip with your legs, again giving the flyer a “pop.” Staying in close to the main base, hold the flyers foot tight as you bring her down and then push her back up.
Back Spot: On the correct count, keeping both hands on the flyer, allow the bases to pop the flyer. When she comes down slow the flyer by putting your left hand on her behind, and keeping your right hand on her ankle. Then push her back up and regrab the flyers ankle. Make sure the stunt is back at the top.
This is a great stunt for half time shows or just when cheering on your team!

Wow, I have to admit, I never knew how complicated cheering could be. There are so many different lifts, flips, and routines you girl's have to remember. How do you keep them all straight?! And just to be able to do them must demand crazy, vigorous training. Way to be! I learned a lot from your blog. Great job!
