00:00 Welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 hardest cheerleading

00:14 stunts.

00:25 Number 10, Straight Ride Basket. Kicking off our list is the Straight Ride Basket, a cheerleading

00:32 stunt that demands precision, strength and nerves of steel.

00:42 The flyer defies gravity as they launch into the air, maintaining a straight ride position

00:48 with pinpoint accuracy. The basis and backspots choreographed to the tee perform the intricate

00:55 dance of catching and securing the flyer mid-air. What sets this stunt apart is the immense

01:03 difficulty it presents in terms of balance and coordination. This stunt is a true test

01:09 of unity, making it a cheerleader's rite of passage.

01:18 Number 9, Tick Tock. In the thrilling world of competitive cheerleading, precision and

01:24 timing are everything. This intricate stunt is a mesmerising display of balance and synergy.

01:40 Picture this, a flyer perched atop a single base, shifting gracefully from one side to

01:46 the other with clock-like precision. The room for error is minuscule, as the slightest misstep

01:52 can send the whole routine tumbling.

02:07 The Tick Tock isn't just about showing off, it's about showcasing the beauty of choreography

02:13 and the trust cheerleaders place in each other. As they say, timing is everything, and in

02:19 this stunt, it's the heartbeat of the routine.

02:29 Number 8, Toss Coupé. In the Toss Coupé, a flyer is catapulted into the sky, performing

02:41 a full extension position mid-flight. This jaw-dropping feat hinges on the unwavering

02:48 grip and precision of the base, demanding an exceptional blend of strength, stability

02:55 and trust. Every moment counts as they hang suspended in the air, making it a true testament

03:08 to their skill and teamwork. Trust is critical when it comes to the Toss Coupé, and when

03:14 executed correctly, showcases the fearless spirit and immense skill of the cheerleaders

03:21 performing it.

03:27 Number 7, One Arm Extension Liberty. The flyer has one leg extended and one leg bent. This

03:35 way, the bases can place their hands more easily. This stunt is not your everyday balancing

03:41 act, it's the kind of thing that defies gravity and logic. In the One Arm Extension Liberty,

03:49 a flyer is hoisted into the air by their teammates, extending their body with precision and poise,

03:56 while balancing on just one hand of their base. When catching one-arm skills, the base

04:01 will either want to catch a grip similar to the heel grip from a lib but moved a little

04:06 forward into the arch of the flyer, or a C-grip where the thumb and fingers are on opposite

04:11 sides of the foot. It's a dazzling display of strength, balance and focus. This stunt

04:17 requires exceptional core strength and unwavering trust among the team members, as the flyer

04:24 puts their fate in their fellow cheerleaders' hands, literally. When pulling their body

04:30 position, it can be helpful for the flyer to continue to lift, but not squeeze in as

04:34 intensely as the two-handed version. This is to prevent big wobbles shooting down through

04:39 the stunt into the base's arm and shoulder.

04:41 Number 6, Double Down. The Double Down is a heart-pounding cheerleading stunt that demands

04:48 precision and teamwork. Here's how it works. As the flyer is lifted into the air, they

05:03 execute a quarter turn to the left, initiating their body to do two spins, adding an extra

05:10 layer of complexity to the stunt. The flyer must then snap their feet together, tuck their

05:16 chin and maintain a perfectly extended body position.

05:21 At the top of their flick, look fast to the left corner and bring your arms down to your

05:26 left hip. Look over your left shoulder and stay tight and hollow for two full spins.

05:32 Meanwhile, the bases and back spots dip low with their legs, executing a coordinated toss

05:38 and catch as they would in a standard straight cradle. It's a visually captivating spectacle

05:45 that combines strength and timing, and this dynamic stunt keeps audiences on the edge

05:52 of their seats.

05:53 Number 5, Kick Double Full Twist. In the Kick Double Full Twist, a flyer takes a daredevil

06:04 leap, executing not one, but two twists while maintaining a mid-air split kick position.

06:15 It's like performing an acrobatic feat and a physics-defying magic trick at the same

06:22 time. To pull this off, cheerleaders need exceptional strength, flexibility and perfect

06:29 timing. It's not just about getting airborne, it's about executing two twists while staying

06:41 split mid-air. The margin for error is paper thin, making it one of the most challenging

06:48 and visually captivating stunts in the cheerleading world. It showcases the extraordinary skill

06:55 and agility of competitive cheerleaders who keep flipping the script on what's possible

07:01 in their sport.

07:02 Most of these athletes, a lot of these things they can do in their sleep, but the mental

07:06 challenge of feeling like you have to perform for your team and not let them down, that's

07:11 what gets people.

07:12 Number 4, Switch Kick Double Twist Basket. In the Switch Kick Double Twist Basket, a

07:24 flyer pulls off a mind-boggling feat of athleticism. They switch legs mid-air and perform two twists

07:32 before gracefully landing in the safety of the basket formation. The difficulty here

07:38 lies in the split-second coordination, strength and stability required. And let's not forget

07:54 the trust factor. The flyer's precision and control need to be razor sharp, while

08:00 the basis and back spots must be in perfect sync to catch and secure them.

08:07 The Switch Kick Double Twist Basket is not just hard, it's a heart-pounding marvel

08:13 that pushes the limits of cheerleading.

08:17 Number 3, Rewind. In the Rewind, a flyer is propelled into the air, gracefully executing

08:29 a backflip before being expertly caught by their teammates. The complexity of this stunt

08:35 isn't about twists, but is all about precision and synchronisation. The challenge lies in

08:41 the flawless execution of both the toss and the catch.

08:57 Athletic timing and teamwork are absolutely crucial. Bases and back spots play a pivotal

09:04 role in ensuring the flyer's safe return. This skill requires a flawless combination

09:11 of athleticism, coordination and unwavering confidence in your teammates.

09:25 Number 2, Arabian Layout. An Arabian is a type of somersault that starts out with a

09:37 backward entry into a half-twist that begins immediately after take-off, and then continues

09:43 into a front flip. The difficulty here is off the charts. The flyer not only needs exceptional

10:06 strength but also unparalleled control and timing to execute the intricate twists and

10:13 flips with precision. This stunt is not for the faint of heart. It's a true test of

10:20 a cheerleader's skill, power and fearlessness.

10:55 it's a breathtaking spectacle that leaves you questioning the laws of physics. In the

11:06 Two and a Half High Pyramid, cheerleaders build an impressive human tower, with multiple

11:13 flyers stacked on top of each other, soaring into the air. It's a multi-tiered marvel

11:19 that requires not just strength and balance, but also an extraordinary level of trust and

11:26 precision. The challenge here is nothing short of epic. It's the kind of feat that leaves

11:44 spectators breathless and showcases the remarkable heights that cheerleaders can reach. Which
