Really? You're not that great.

Does anyone else hate when flyers are stuck up because they are flyers? It doesn’t happen to many at all, like most flyers I know aren’t stuck up about it, but there are those few that just make me want to punch them in the face. They think they are so great because they are the center of attention. They think its all about them because “they could die if they get dropped”. Yea well as a base whose flyer has landed flat on my neck, face and boobs for way too many times, I’m pretty sure I have a high risk too. Oh yea and guess what, if it wasn’t for your group…you wouldn’t even be in the air. So wake up and smell the god damn roses, you aren’t as great as you think you are.

I used to fly, and I know its not as easy as some people think it is. But when the flyer tries to make it out like the hardest part of the stunt I just want to grab them by the face turn them around and scream “yea say that to your backspot’s face!”

I also hate when people think that flyers have to be perfectly flexible in the air. that every single one must have the most beautiful needle anyone has ever seen. well its not like that. I have so much respect for the flyers that don’t have the best flexibility but get up in the air stick their stunt and work it like they do.

But just because you have a needle, or you are so tiny you can be thrown around without effort doesn’t mean that you can be stuck up about flyer “standards”. In my opinion the only people that should be in the air are the ones that know what they are doing when it comes to the stunt. Which ever flyer helps out their bases enough so that no one is at risk of getting hurt. Just because a flyer has a needle doesn’t mean that they are safe to be in the air.

And that’s my rant for the day.
