Any tips on making this better?

Sorry I'm posting like crazy!

Cheer On ppl!!!!

* straighten your supporting leg
* point your foot!
* practice an arabesque infront of a mirror, try and pull up your chest while having your leg out
It looks better than my first few attempts at this! In no time you will improve. It's also good to have a girl on the ground telling you corrections, and also talk to your bases if they aren't supporting your supporting leg right. You look like you have a good cheerleader shape! lol

You HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO lock out your leg! you'll be so much more stable up there, which in turn will make you more comfortable in the air (which is important once you advance to harder stunts).

I don't know if it's the angle, but if your arms are in high V, that's wrong also, in arabesque you should have your arms in a T position (parallel to the floor).

Okay the back leg. It looks like you need to do lower back exercises. get into a right split and lean back into your left leg. or you could lay down on your stomach and have another cheerleader hold your legs to the ground, try to pull your chest up off the ground as much as you can. Do these in reps and this stretches out your lower back which will help you get that back leg higher!

and of course PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! do your arabesque in the mirror as much as you can! practice it while you're watching TV, it sounds dumb but putting in that extra time WILL show on the mat.

Hope i've helped!

I will tell the flyer this. As I might said in other post, the flyer is new, so this helpes me alot making her the best she can be! Thanks!

For being a new flyer thats good but she looks quite uncomfortable up there she needs to be more confident but only practice can help that!

good luck

hey wazup how you doing you be hurting

leg needs to be higher and pointed foot..

you fly on ur left leg! how weird! lol..but cool! heres some tips:
* straighten your standing leg
* point that toe!
* put your arms in a T..get rid of that high-v!
* lift your leg on the floor first then in the air
* prac. infront of a mirror to see your flaws
* stretch your splits
* bring your leg up without turning your knee out
* dont drop your chest!
* tell your backspot to pull up on that ankle! get in there!

Good luck! let me know how it works out! - Gina

*make sure that her supporting leg is locked
*Point toes
*Even if it makes her leg not as high as you'd like it, make sure she is keeping her upper body as straight up as she can, you don't want to lean over to make your leg go higher, while at first it will make her leg lower, working on this will improve it. The goal is to kind of make a t (minus the arms), one straight line and then the arabesque leg straight out parallel to the ground.

Hope that helps a bit.

I'm not going to bore you with what she needs to improve, you know lifting her leg higher, high V, etc. Just tell her to have fun. That's what it's all about. Even if you make a mistake, you've just got to laugh at yourself. Know is going to b*tch at you if you make a mistake and it's your first time flying. But that's what it's all about. Having fun. Always smile and enjoy yourself.

ok.... her leg should be covered more by hands of people helping that base hold her up also the flyer should be at a T shape for a true arobesc.
