Or maybe just turn yourself upside down, in high-flying stunts that wow the crowds!
Cheer your way from Central Park to Coney Island. (Can you win the hotdog eating contest [i]and[/i] lead your squad to victory?) Will you B-E aggressive and fight off the villains? You can use your squad’s teamwork and cheerleading skills to solve mysteries, win dance-offs, and live a life of altruism, turning New York back into a utopia!
