@janellalarianne11 it all depends on the level. letting go of a cheerleader while stunting is only illegal in level 1 and 2 level 3-6 is not illegal because the girls are older and more trained and experienced

[@janellalarianne11]

was that stunt even legal when the girl from west bloomfield let go their flyer? I'm pretty sure having no contact with a flyer during a stunt is illegal according to MSHAA rules

its not jus the supervision or padding. the reason why cheerleaders get hurt s much is because what they do is so hard and lethal! it looks easy because we make it look easy a normal perso could never do half the things we do

Sorry my bases weren't paying attention and I broke both wrists even half can be dangerous

Maybe just find something not useless to do? No cheer squad has ever been the reason people are seeing them cheering.
