description Cupie Stunt Overview
A cupie is a cheerleading stunt in which a flyer is supported upright above the bases, with the flyer standing on the bases' hands and keeping both feet close together. The position requires the flyer to maintain balance while the bases control the support points and timing. Variations may use one supporting arm or additional grips, so the exact difficulty depends on the formation and execution rules.
