How to Do the Bow & Arrow
Hi I'm Shyra from Excel Rebels in Land-O-Lakes, Florida. I'm going to be doing advanced cheer leading on behalf of Expert Village. And now we're going to be demonstrating a bow and arrow pop down. As your inset base you will hold right hand under the bottom of the foot, left hand on top of the foot, you will squeeze as tight as possible, lift all the way up, extend, wait for your pop, pop through your shoulders, catch high, let out clean. As your front spot you will hold both the bases wrists with your hands, squeeze up, lift the stunt up as high as you can, keep it steady you're there for extra help, help pop, and catch from the side. As your main base you will be holding with both hands under the right foot, you squeeze up, extend to the top, hold the foot as high as possible, keep the stunt steady, wait for the pop, pop through your shoulders, catch high and unload. As the backsplat you'll be holding right hand on the back of the ankle of the right foot and your left hand will be under the rear, you lift up as high as you can, push her all the way up, squeeze on her ankle if you can reach, pop through your shoulders, catch high and unload. The flyer will be doing a variation on the heel stretch but instead of just holding it with her left hand she will hold her foot with her right hand and send it all the way up and put her hand through. Right now were going to demonstrate the bow and arrow pop down
