X’s And O’s of Cheer

If you have ever taken more than a few seconds to watch the cheerleaders, you notice girls going flying up into the air performing acrobatic stunts and cheers.

How much work goes into that though? Much like any sport is their technique, how do you practice, how does it feel to be floating free for even a second?
