Some of you are showing your age

When girls would stand there after completing their tumble pass and/or while glying in the pyramid, with their cheeks puffed out shaking their head back and forth, as some sort of performance or facial.

The sad part about this is that I still see flyers who do that...:banghead:

Two simple words..

Cheer Curls.

I had to wear those for dance. no joke.

 

[cheercurl]

I remember the first team my daughter cheered on was the bomb because they had team round off tucks! Yes, you read that right no handspring in there. LOL

 

[ang_k_]

it's so sad, because just last year before i stopped cheering for school, a middle school team had the cheer curls. & one girls fell out on the mat...

 

[Fightz]

I can't help but shimmy all of these! haha

Two words... SPRAY GLITTER.

we used to have glitter parties. aka someone sprayed glitter in the air and we danced underneath it to cover our entire bodies in glitter! TRAGIC!

 

[AScheer]

Okay too much fun with this... heres a few no ones mentioned!

Those tall socks with a megaphone or paw on them

The UCA backdrop was the indiana jones set

Competition mats didn't always have velcro strips and they didn't always run the same ways so you had to figure spacing out on your own! You also didn't always know where center was so you brought a stuffed animal or something to mark it with!

Back when after you completed your tumbling pass you proudly stuck out your chest and made a face. Like the last pass in this video but only more exaggerated... - about 1:13

OMG when we had to put it all over our hair and a some on our bodies, my mom would just hate having to wash my hair after comp. with all the hair spray and glittler..... i would look like a child went crazy with glitter... oh wait

I'm proud of my age. I've earned every single grey hair. Of course most of them came from watching CP tumble.

My first cheerleading uniform involved a sweater. An actual sweater. With one of those horribly flocked megaphone appliques across the chest. Eeeeeeek.

 

[CXAcoach&mom]

All of these are so funny! I remember all of this stuff.. when I tell my girls that we used to stop the music do a cheer then restart the music they think im crazy. I remember the first year that it was all music but the music went down that you couldnt hear it. I cheered allstars from 96-2003.
We also went to an international competition in Mexico...do they still do that?

Oh and I remember Cheersport nationals before it was huge..I mean it was a big competition but not like it is now!

 

[mommadonna]

I remember in high school, a toe touch was called a "russian". I guess that wasn't PC, so they started calling it something else?

when my old coach thought it would be SUPER COOL to use the same exact music as the East Compton Clovers for the last 2/3 of our routine. #nevergoingtoforget
