FATHER-DAUGHTER DUO GO VIRAL FOR GRAVITY DEFYING CHEERLEADING STUNTS

Prosper, Texas dad Roland Pollard and his daughter, Jayden, have taken the internet by storm with their jaw-dropping, at-home cheer stunts. The gravity-defying flips and lifts have racked up millions of views on Instagram — even catching the attention of celebrities like Will Smith.

But for Roland, it’s about much more than athleticism. “I didn’t have a strong father figure growing up,” he said. “I know what I missed, and I want to be that for my kids.”

What began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a fun bonding activity has become a viral symbol of trust, love, and intentional parenting. Jayden, now a competitive gymnast, says she’s always trusted her dad to keep her safe — even when she was just three years old.

Roland’s message to parents is simple: show up, be present, and take an interest in what your kids love. The rest, he says, will follow.
