16. PYRamids Cheerleading pyramids  are essentially one big train of stunting activity. By creatively combining lifts, poses and dismounts, you end up with a sort of mega stunt that is visually impressive. It's important that all the squad members are on the same page. So, when you're teaching cheerleading pyramids to the squad for the first time, it is good to start with the right vocabulary.

17. H o w to build a pyramid A pyramid, can be dissected into several parts: The transition or set up : This is when all the cheerleaders get into place. The load : This refers to the manner in which you get the flyer to the top. The "hit" : Hitting a pyramid is when you strike your final pose so that your audience can see the pyramid. The dismount : The flyer dismounts when she jumps off the pyramid and lands safely on the ground.

18. Cheerdance pyramid positions Flyer : The flyer is the very top of the pyramid. She is known as the flyer because she will "fly" back down to safety. Base : The base is the person on the bottom of the pyramid. Spotter : Support, extra hold and catch
