A cheerleading pyramid is a stunt in which two or more people hold up another person. It requires a lot of practice and good spotters. It’s important to know how the pyramid is going to dismount before it’s built and to have a plan for every step in the process. This can help avoid injury to the flyer and make the pyramid look better. It’s also important to have all of the bases and the spotters be on the same page so they know what to do.
The most common type of pyramid is the standard two-person high pyramid. This is usually performed by junior all stars and some club teams. However, there are other pyramids that are much more difficult to perform. These include the Swedish Fall, Wolf Wall, and L Stand. These are normally performed by very experienced college and club squads.
Cheerleading is a sport that incorporates many different concepts, such as the laws of physics. For example, Newton’s law states that an object in motion stays in motion unless stopped. This is why the bases must cradler the top flyer before throwing her into the air.
Starting on level 2, teams start doing more stunting on extended and handsprings in tumbling. The rules for pyramids change as well. The IASF rule says that the flyer must be braced if on extended level but it does not need to be braced for one-legged stunts on prep level and up.
