All-Star Male Flyers

Pants in the air - No.

Pants on the ground, Pants on the ground. Lookin' like a boy with yo' pants on the ground.

Saw a male flyer on an international team at Worlds pull a scorp. Granted, he was very flexible, but from the where I was sitting, it was NOT a good angle. Don't care to ever see that again. Ever.

Imagine him pulling a spike. . . or bows. . . .and you can see his bulging daddy . . .

Guys shouldn't fly. It just lookd weird to me- it's a little gross. No offence to any male flyers. It just kind of creeps me out.

I don't mind guys flying. They're always good... I have never seen a bad male flyer (in a real routine)! I love male flyers in baskets.

But I think all male flyers should learn to base too.

I wish most people agreed, I can't even get a gym to let me try out as a flyer DX

I don't mind guys flying in baskets (especially more difficult baskets like double fulls or kick doubles) but that's about it. I don't really like guys flying elite sections as much - and definitely not when I see things like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVQtmqcR60s&feature=related] with the guy just standing there not pulling anything (nothing against him or the team of course).

I used to fly, and if a guy has the flexibility then why not? I know that guys can get jus as flexible as girls. It's not totally about looks mostly execution. And if a guy can hit it perfect then why not?

if boys are going up at all, PLEASE make him center. if he is not good enough to be center or there isn't another boy to balance the formation, dont put him up! i mean if he can hit everything thats great, but visually it looks off unless he's in center. this year New Jersey Spirit Explosion Junior 5 fly a boy in baskets. he only does a kick single though, i think the junior girls have trouble getting the height he would need.

He is soooo small. The girl in the basket he frontspots has a BEAUTIFUL clean kick double though!

I don't like to see guys flying in stunt sequences. I just don't think it looks masculine, I know all male cheerleaders aren't going for the "masculine" persona...but at the end of the day...I don't care how straight his leg is in a scorpion, or how pretty his bow is... I still don't want to a male flying on a competition mat. Save it for having fun back at the gym or standing on the arm of your couch in your living room.

I don't mind seeing males (collegiate or level 6 in particular) flying in the middle level of a pyramid...because its pretty much a necessity for them to do it considering the elite portions of pyramids....their strength is needed.

Baskets...I'm kind of "eh" about... a flipping or twisting basket... if a guy can make it look beautiful then yes... but a toe touch basket...no thanks.

The person who does better should be in the air, no matter what part of anatomy they have. Usually the guys are in the air are in the air because they are better. I never noticed that we had double standards in cheer.

its not a double standard. no said they cannot fly in the air. all was said is that girls look better up in the air. its kind of like saying youd rather see a girl wear a dress than a guy wear a dress.

Yea but if the guy is just as good or better than some of the girls why can't he, and it is a double standard.
