Skills: Stunting requires a group of people to work together in order to put the flyer up in the air. The group is made up of a back spot, main base, and side base. There are many different stunts that can be done in cheerleading.
A stunt that the crowd always enjoys is a Basket Toss. This stunt requires the Flyer to be thrown up in the air and surprise everyone with a toe-touch or back flip. The flyer leaves the bases' hands then is caught in a cradle to finish the stunt.
There are many other stunts that do not require the flyer to leave the catchers' hands, such as the one legged stunt shown in the team picture to the right. This skill is called an "arabesque". A lot of body flexibility is required in cheerleading.
