How do you do a cheerleading layout?

Answer 1

A layout is a tumbling skill level that a higher skill but not uncommon. It could be described as a backtuck (back flip) with your entire body straight. It is usually done after a roundoff backhandspring or just a roundoff. How to do a layout is a skill learned after often years of training and working extremely hard and really to do one you have to have the skills of a backhandspring and a backtuck and it requires the strength and power to be able to flip your body around with grace and percision. For a visual of a "layout" you can go on YouTube and search "standing layout" or "roundoff backhandspring layout" and if you really want to see some cool skill levels search on YouTube "Cheersport Atlanta Tumbling" and there are a couple of videos of a tumbling contest held at Cheersport National Championships in Atlanta (its the worlds largest competition) and they are really talented athletes.
