- Miley Cyrus competing at Cheersport Nationals with Tennessee (2000 or 2001) and all of our moms running down the hall because her dad was there... (Poor guy got mobbed all weekend, I dont think he even got to watch her)
- Maryland Twisters having different uniforms for each team and it being sooooo cool!!!! (one of them even had SHORTS?!?!?!) The best though was the team with the one piece uniforms that had a diamond cut out around the belly button. They are soo scandalous. BATC 2000 they had sound effects in their music and we didnt know what to do, it was like hell froze over.
- In that same year, doing 2 extensions and 2 of that "grab your foot lib" type thing to "WAR! HUH! YEA! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR!" and we did muscle arms and a few head nods.
- In the cheer section, having a letter taped to my butt. When we wanted the crowd to spell it out, we turned around and flipped our skirts up. One time I was the letter "O" and another time I was an "!" .. how exciting.
- My cheer shirt that has this random cartoon cheerleader on it that just said "WAZZZZUPPP!!!" with matching shorts.
- Being a 12 year old and on an "Elite" team. Girl had to have surgery because she broke her nose / cheeks, when a flyer came down feet into her face from a full basket... and when I saw full basket I mean a 'full-twist'.
- Tuck jumps in a routine.
- Those awful flipflops with tied pieces of material all around them.
- Plaid pajama pants in the color of my uniform. Sooo cool.
- Switching from Kaepas to Power shoes and thinking they were gods gift to cheerleading.
- Dancing to "Who let the dogs out" on Junior Prep
- Getting away with having a senior on our sr. prep team via fake birth certificate because someone got hurt and they were our only option.
- Going to watch the "individual" competition at BATC and thinking that if I was ever as good as those girls I would probably die.
- When cheersport was not at the world congress center...
- Going to Columbus Ohio for AmeriCheer.. you could NEVER beat NEO.
- My mom paying $35 a month in tuition...
- AmeriCheer nationals in Orlando was the deal.
- States and Regionals were a huge deal. If you won those, you were the best.
 
found this TV episode focusing on World Cup, Cheer Athletics, ad Gymtyme at NCA 1999. Back before anyone knew who World Cup was. The practice outfits made me laugh the most.



I LOVE this video!!!!!! When Coach Christie from Gym Tyme throws the cassette tapes down on the floor when one of her boys starts getting upset about not winning at NCA Nationals, loved that moment on there!!!! Work with her today at a gym in NC!!!!!!! Go Coach Christie!!!!!!!:fro:

I guess I started at the end of all of these trends...My first season was 04-05, I was on a Sr.Prep never herd of it again, I had the flip flops and hair band/handmade scrunchies with the tied on fabric, had a 2 piece uniform top, and the thick ribbon with our names embroidered on the ends that we tied in my hair. Never again did I have any of these
 
I remember when its used to be Jr.prep/novice/advanced and intermediate.... Also i remember our gym had a 7 panel dead mat....

And when the whole back tuck in the pyrmid was first around and everyone did it I thought it was the coolist thing ever... anyone have any predictions of what cheerleading might be in a couple years... I say either way to stricked to a point where we are only going to be able to do tucks in lv 5 lolz.
