Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A prep consists of how many people?

Answer: 4

A prep has a flyer, a back, and two bases. The back assists the flier into the bases' hands. The bases lift the flier and hold her at chest level. The flier stands up and locks all her muscles and tries to maintain her balance.

2. What stunt is the sweep used to dismount from?

Answer: Full

A full is done after a prep and the bases have their arms straight in the air. After a full extension, the bases and back throw the flyers legs forward and catch them.

3. In what stunt do the bases interlock their hands for the flier to jump on?

Answer: Basket toss

A basket toss is where the bases interlock their hands and let the flier jump on. They sponge and throw the flyer straight into the air, with the help of the back and front. The back pushes the flier's butt into the air and the front puts her hands underneath the bases hands, to lift up.

4. In what jump does the cheerleader try to touch her toes out in front of her body?

Answer: Pike

Pike is a very difficult jump. You must jump and put your feet straight out in front of you and try to touch your toes in the air. You should land with your feet together.

5. What is the name of the stunt where the flyers legs are together in a full extension?

Answer: Awesome

While going up into the full from the prep, the bases move the flier's feet together. The flier's feet should be touching.

6. What stunt is a front spotter needed for?

Answer: Basket toss

The front pushes up under the bases hands. While the flier is in the air, the front moves and lets the bases and the back catch the flier.

7. In a dance routine, what is the highest number you count to?

Answer: 8

Dance routines always are counted in eights.

8. In what stunt does the flyer have one leg at their knee?

Answer: Liberty

A liberty is performed with five people. One base holds the foot. The other holds the ankle. The front holds onto the bases' wrists. The back pushes the flier into the air and helps keep her get stable.
The flyer goes up on one foot and the other foot is positioned at the other knee. The bases, back, and front job's may differ depending on what works the best.

9. When a back help builds a prep, where do their hands first touch on the flyer?

Answer: Waist

The back pulls up on the flyer's waist to reduce the weight on the bases. After the flier stands, the back removes her hands and pulls up on the flier's ankles.

10. Once the flyer is in the prep, where does the back put her hands?

Answer: Ankles

The back then pulls up on the ankles and tries to support the flyer after she is held by the bases at their chest level.
