I just saw your post on FB about throwing people around at the gym. Were you a cheerleader??
Re: **Jenny**
YES! I was on a competitive all-star squad for 8 years and then I worked for National Cheerleaders Association for 3 years after high school. A bunch of us (and the owner/our old coach) got together at the gym this afternoon and busted out some old stunts! A few of our old tumblers started busting out fulls too!!!
It was SOOOO much fun but I have a feeling it's going to hurt like hell tomorrow! We're planning on getting together again the Sunday after Christmas. I'll be posting some videos on FB eventually!
Awesome! I was a cheerleader too
I had to stop when I went back to school for my second degree, when I was 23. I had to quit my city team because I wasn't living there anymore, so I tried out for the university team and made it, but I quit because they were SO awful. The coaches were TERRIBLE and people made the team who didn't even know what a basket toss was!! They were basically trying to start from scratch, teaching people how to do extensions from thigh stands. Welcome to grade seven.
It was just going to be too frustrating (and dangerous) so I stopped
I miss it a lot, and would love to get involved with advising for a middle school team or something, just to have a hand in it again.
Girl... let me tell you. Basket Tosses hurt a lot more at 26 than they did at 17! HAHAHA!
I have a few photos up on my Facebook (Cougar Cheer Album). I have a couple of videos to upload but haven't quite figured out how to do it yet.
I've always missed it but going back today just confirmed HOW MUCH I miss it! Some of the girls are talking about trying to get together like once a month just to play around.
I didn't do any tumbling today... It might be a while before I try bustin out a standing back again!
