Here is a list of cheer-leading transitions, tosses, and dismounts:

  •  
  • Toe Touch basket toss - During the basket toss, when the flyer is thrown into the air she stays in the "pencil" position. once starting to fall, she does the toetouch jump, quickly pops back into pencil, and then into the cradle.
  •  
  • Pretty Girl/Show off basket toss - When in the air, the flyer will do her legs like in a lib[erty] and put one hand on her waist and one behind her head, laying down.
  •  
  • Kick twist basket toss - At the height of the basket before falling, the flyer will kick one leg up then twist her body into a cradle. The flyer may twist up to two times.
  •  
  • Pretty Girl Kick Twist basket toss - During the ride the flyer does the pretty girl and at the height of the basket performs the kick twist.
  •  
  • Tuck basket toss - while in the air the flyer will perform a tuck (front or back) then pop into cradle.
  •  
  • X-out basket toss/X-Full - same as tuck basket toss, but while upside down in the tuck the flyer will perform the jump "spread eagle" which will make the body look like a X.
  •  
  • Pike basket toss - same as toetouch basket toss but the flyer will perform a pike.
  •  
  • Star basket toss - in the air, once starting to fall, the flyer will put a leg up like in a scale, and the other will be straight facing diagonally downward. the hands will be in a high V, then she'll pop back into pencil. In some variations, the flyer will spin while in the Star jump.
  •  
  • Ball Up - The bases launch the flier in the air. She stays in a ball until she hits her peak, and stands up in a one leg extension. These are commonly followed by a tick tock.
  •  
  • Launch - Almost like a basket toss except hands are in formation of a prep or extension.
  •  
  • Pop Cradle or Cradle Down - Dismount from a stunt in which the base/bases toss the flyer straight up from a stationary stunt then catch the flyer in a seated position pike position.
  •  
  • Dismount - A way to return the flyer to the floor or complete a stunt.
  •  
  • Squish (or Sponge) - Two bases will each hold a different foot of a flyer at their waist level. The flyer is squatted down so the flyer is not taller than the bases. This is how the flyer loads in to the stunt, before jumping and pushing off the bases shoulders, and the bases drive their arms upwards and extend the flyer.
  •  
  • Retake or Double Take - When a stunt is extended in the air, and then goes back down into a load-in position placing both feet in the bases hands, if previously in a one-footed stunt, and being pushed back upwards into another stunt.
  •  
  • Show and Go - Two bases will each hold a different foot of a flyer and bring it up to a full extension. The flyer only stays up for two counts and returns back into a squish position. Also known as 'fake-outs' or 'flashes'. Depending on the stunt, the flyer can throw any number of tricks in a show and go. If loading in with both feet, most times the flyer will "show" a cupie, and after reloading, come back up to a cupie in either a prep or extension level. Another variation is the one-legged show and go, where a flyer starts as if in a one-legged stunt, and "shows" one leg kicked up to the heel stretch position (without grabbing the ankle or instep). As this variation is brought back down, the flyer brings in her leg from the flash and reloads in either a two or one legged sponge, "going" back up to prep or extension level.
  •  
  • Tick-Tock - When a flyer switches the foot being stood on in mid air after being popped by bases.
  •  
  • Full Down (Twist Cradle) - Variation on a pop cradle. It is a dismount from a stunt in which the base/bases toss the flyer straight up from a stationary stunt, the flyer does a 360 degree turn in the air, and then the bases catch her in a cradle position. Called a Single Down, Single, or Full Down in some Regions.
  •  
  • Double Down (Double Twist Cradle) - Variation on a pop cradle. The same as a full twist cradle, but two 360 degree turns are completed before cradling. There are also increasing numbers of twist downs possible, often as many as five, witnessed especially when four males are basing a basket toss, however no more than two twists are allowed in competition at any level.
  •  
  • Leap Frog or popcorn - Usually a transition where the bases "hop" top person over the backspots head and catch her in either a smush or cradle.
  •  
  • Reload - A transition that connects two stunts when a flyer cradles out of the first stunt, and the bases dip and pop the flyer back into a load position. A similar stunt is a barrel roll. Sometimes called a 'cradle pop'.
  •  
  • Barrel Roll - Seated in a pike position, (as if she had just cradled down) the bases toss the flyer, she lays flat and does a 360 degree spin in the air.
  •  
  • Full up - A variation on the double take in which the flyer does a full turn in the air to the right in between stunts while staying in contact with the bases. Also called a 360 up in some regions.
  •  
  • Double up - The more advanced version of the Full up where two complete 360 degree turns are made
  •  
  • Rewind - An advanced stunt load where the flyer is tossed into the air by her base/bases, she then does a back tuck and brings her feet in contact with her base/bases
  •  
  • Walk Down - A dismount where the flyer does a full turn to the left in a standing position while having her right foot in contact with the bases.
  •  
  • Deadman - When the flyer falls backwards or forwards out of a stunt where 3 or 4 people catch the flyer and could possbly push the flyer back up to the bases hands.[4]
  •  
  • Swedish Falls - Center bases face each other, legs shoulder width apart, arms straight and hands on each other's shoulders, a flyer stands behind each base, facing the bases' backs. Flyers place hands on bases' shoulders, each flyer has a second base. These bases squat in between the other base and the flyer. They hold the flyers' waists, third base holds the flyers upstage leg—one hand on her thigh and the other on her ankle. On 1, 2, down, up, the flyer bends her knees and jumps. The second and third bases lift the flyer up, fully extending their arms. The flyer's arms are also fully extended. The center bases have the flyers' weight on their shoulders. They support each other to maintain balance. Both flyers lift their downstage leg (the base is only holding the upstage leg). The second and third bases lower the flyer on the dismount.
