The Double Thigh Stand is one of the most important beginner cheerleading stunts you should know and every team should be doing. Here are some tips to perfect your cheerleading Double Thigh Stand:
Tips:
- Make sure your Bases have deep lunges for the Flyer to stand on.
- Make sure the Flyer steps in the “pockets” of the Bases, not on their legs.
- The Flyer should start with her right foot first and climb using the “Step, Lock, Tighten” Method.
- Have the base hold the flyer’s legs by wrapping their arms around the flyers knees.
- The back spotter should hold the flyer’s waist.
- When you are learning the double thigh stand, you should add a front spotter. ( You can never have enough spotters!)
- To dismount, have the bases hold the flyer’s hands and their armpit.
- The flyer lands in front of the stunt with her feet together.
Here is an example of how to incorporate the Double Thigh Stand into a cheerleading stunt formation:
