Two leg stunts

Cupie/Awesome
In single base stunting, the base holds both the flyer's feet with one hand in an extended overhead position or in multi-base stunting, two bases hold flyer's feet together at full extension level. The Cupie is almost identical to the Full Extension except that the flyers feet are together. It is also called an Awesome in some regions.

Prep
A stunt in which flyer stands with each foot in the hands of a base at shoulder level. The two bases, facing each other, hold the feet of the upright flyer at collar-bone level, about shoulder-width apart. The backspot holds the calves or ankles of the flyer. A front spot is optional and may be used to secure the stunt by the shins of the flyer. An Extension Prep can serve as a stunt in itself, or as the transition point between other, more complicated, stunts. It is also called a Prep, an Elevator, and a Half in some regions.

Extension
"Second level" of an elevator. Flyer stands with each foot in the hands of a base withs arms are in an extended overhead position. The Extension is similar in form to the Extension Prep except that the bases arms are now fully extended upright and locked. The backspot can either hold the ankles of the flyer, or support the wrists of the bases. This is called a Full in some regions.

Split-lift
Two bases hold the flyer's legs at the knee area. They then slowly walk apart until the flyer is in a mid-air split. Also called a Royal Sit in some regions.

This is a good article, as are your others in this spot. I have three recommendations for future articles that, if you decide to any or all three, would increase the article rating (from me anyway):

1) Provide an introduction to the article. For instance, in this article you might have started with something like: "This article details different kinds of cheerleading stunts involving the use of both of a flyer's legs." Without an introduction, the article is a little hard to start at a cold read.

2) Try text formatting to make your headings pop out a little. If you are unfamiliar with the text formatting options on Fanpop, you could try this article for some tips, or talk to other users who have used the text formats you'd like to try.

3) Include pictures of what you are describing. In this case, a picture of each of the stunts would be really helpful.

In any case, I enjoyed the article. Keep up the good work!
