This is a little taste of competitive cheerleading. It's not the best we could do, but it's a little something I hope you would like. These are passes thrown by level 5 cheerleaders. Level 5 is the highest level you can work yourself up to. This video has a few clips of my friend and I at practice. I will try getting better videos of harder skills as soon as I can. I want you guys to realize that we cheerleaders work really hard to get these skills; it takes a lot of practice. When you watch the video, you see me fall. That's just there to show you we are willing to get better at what we do by trying things on our own, even if we fall. Falling is nothing to be embarrassed about. Coaches rather see you fall and try the skill than be spotted all the time and be a baby. I tried the three back handsprings to full by myself. (I fell) My friend is being spotted. Being spotted is a way of learning and getting that extra push or save that we need to excel once we are able to do it on our own is a good help. Being spotted is also something not to be embarrassed about as long as you use spotters at appropriate times. Cheerleading is the second most dangerous sport in the world so being spotted if you aren't ready is a good thing to prevent injuries. I hope you enjoy this!

Impressive moves! I am completely jealous! I have always been too scared to flip around like that.
ReplyDeleteIf this isn't the best you could do, then i'm curious as to what exactly your best is. This is amazing. I would be scared to try this even if someone was spotting me.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have given us a video to watch. It looks like alot of fun and hardwork. I looking forward to see your other videos of harder moves.
ReplyDeleteI would break from doing any of this, I'm the most ungraceful clumsiest person I know. I wouldn't even be able to land one of those things, just kidding what am I saying a kart wheel's pretty hardcore....... . .right?
