They Called Her a Bad Flyer. She Made It a Brand.

I started cheerleading at 31 years old.

No experience. No tumbling. Definitely no flexibility. Just a mom who decided to try something new and went all in.

Was I good? Absolutely not.

Did I quit? Also absolutely not.

I started sharing my journey online. The good, the bad, the falls, the fails, and those little victories that felt like winning Worlds.

And, of course, people had opinions.

As my videos gained attention on TikTok and cheer Twitter, people started calling me a “bad flyer.”

So I did what any slightly stubborn, determined woman would do.

I took the name they used to bring me down and turned it into a brand.

And just like that, BadFlyer was born.

But I never wanted BadFlyer to be just another cheer apparel company.

If grown adults could criticize me for simply learning something new, imagine what young athletes were experiencing every day.

I wanted to create something that reminded athletes they didn’t have to be perfect to be confident. You don’t need the highest-level skills, the prettiest flexibility, or a Worlds title to belong.

You can be a work in progress and still be a badass.

BadFlyer started with enough money for one prototype and one product. No big budget. No fancy business plan. Just some doodles, a dream, and a whole lot of determination.

What started as my personal journey grew into a community of athletes who embraced the message, supported each other, and gave themselves a name.

The Baddies.

And somewhere along the way, that mom with zero cheer experience made it all the way to the Worlds stage.

But here’s the thing. I’m still learning, still falling, and still chasing new skills. Because being a BadFlyer was never about being perfect.

It’s about having the confidence to try, the determination to keep going, and the heart to lift others up along the way.

Whether you’re a flyer, base, back spot, tumbler, beginner, or Worlds champion, there’s a place for you here.

Because BadFlyer isn’t just my story anymore.

It’s ours.

Show Them Your Bad Side.

BadFlyer. Not Just For Flyers.

Sometimes I just sit back and think… HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL?! 🥹🩷👑

I will forever be thankful and a little taken aback by everything BadFlyer has become. What started as a little idea has grown into something bigger than I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams!

One of my absolute FAVORITE things is coming up with new designs, bringing my crazy ideas to life, and then seeing Y’ALL actually wearing them!! 😭😍 Like excuse me?! You’re out here rocking something that started as a random idea in my head?! THAT WILL NEVER GET OLD!!

But what makes this even more special is that BadFlyer has become so much more than just clothes. It’s a community, a whole lot of confidence, and a reminder that you can take something that was once meant to bring you down and turn it into something AMAZING. ❤️

I never imagined this little brand would reach so many people, and the fact that y’all continue to show up, support, and believe in it means more than you’ll ever know.

And the craziest part? I still feel like we’re just getting started!! 🥹🔥

So thank you for every order, every tag, every share, every kind message, and every single time you choose to rock BadFlyer. Y’all are literally helping me live out a dream I didn’t even know I was allowed to dream this big. 🫶🏼

Here’s to more crazy ideas, more designs, more Baddies, and seeing just how far we can take this thing!! 👑

SHOW THEM YOUR BAD SIDE! ❤️‍🔥

At 37, I’m still out here trying new things, challenging myself, and occasionally questioning my life choices 😂🤸🏻‍♀️

Not too shabby for an old lady, huh?! 💁🏻‍♀️🔥 I swear cheer keeps me young and reminds me that I’m not as young as I think I am ALL at the same time! 😭🤣

What trend should I try next? And can we talk about that save at the end?! LMAOOO 💀😂

Moral of the story? Do the damn thing! Who cares how old you are?! 🤪🔥

Y’all KNOW I had to try this on the Stunt Stand! 😭😂🫣

But let me tell you, the PTSD from this cheer track is REAL! 💀🤣 My brain was fighting for its life, but you already know I wasn’t about to let that stop me! 😂❤️

Just out here facing my fears, questioning my life choices, and doing it all over again because apparently I love the chaos! 🤣🔥

If you know, you KNOW! 📣

Because apparently cheerleading at 37 wasn’t enough… now I’m taking bumps in a wrestling ring. 😂💀

Went to a pro wrestling class with the family and tell me why I LOVED IT?! 🤼‍♀️🔥

At this point, I’m just collecting side quests and seeing how many sports I can get into before 40. 😂

Anyway… catch me in my WWE era. 💅🏼

This trend but make it ✨CHEER✨ because apparently standing on the ground like a normal person just isn’t an option anymore 😂📣

If there’s a way to turn a trend into a stunt… I WILL find it. 😭

Kinda chic to be 37 and still putting on a uniform, throwing on a bow, and doing the sport everyone thought I’d be “too old” for. 💅🎀

Turns out there’s no expiration date on doing things that makes you feel alive.

37. Still cheering. Still learning. Still leveling up.
 And honestly? I think it looks pretty damn good on me. ✨
