1) What is the hardest skill you learned?

2) What is the easiest skill you learned?

I am in my 3os and have not actively cheered since the stone age but listen, I ended my cheer career with a double and whips through to double.

Even having all that in college, the most difficult skills I ever encountered in all those years was the elusive PUNCH FRONT and BACK WALKOVER.

Yes, really.

I have thrown double fulls, and Arabian through to fulls. Which of those is harder I'm not sure, they seem about par to me. The hardest skill for me personally... Dive rolls. Still can't seem to get them right though I also rarely practice them. And I've done a back walkover before, but that was also very difficult.

The easiest for me was a back handspring. I had it down in a couple of hours of lessons.

my kid is only level 3, but she would say FWO. She HATES them with an undying passion that knows no bounds. She spent 18 months trying to get that skill.

easiest (to learn) = standing tuck
hardest = running full

Now that i am older - standing tucks fall into the 'difficult to do' category

Easiest: Round off tuck

Hardest: Back Handspring. I still hate them, and I still can't do them correctly.

I skipped back walkover and worked on back hand springs during a one day-per-week-8-week tumbling class session. Stopped going for 6 about months. Then when I joined allstar cheer in October of 2015 of the same year as I did the tumbling class session, I worked on my back hand spring that whole season. Got it like a week or 2 after the season ended. I've been working on my punch front thru to layout this whole season. So its a tie between those 2. The easiest skill was either punch front or standing tuck
