All-Star Old Cheer Thread

[OldskoolKYcheercoach]

My shoes have an American, Ultimate and Athletic tag on them. There were more, those are just the ones to survive all these years. The only one I remember NOT doing tags was Cheersport. It all just seems so unnecessary, but back then someone clearly thought they were important!

Actually Athletic was the one with the 6-foot-tall grand champion trophy.

American Championships, I think, was the company that did that. They were the givers of the 6-foot tall grand championship trophy.

They still do the shoe tags! As does PacWest.

Watching some of these 45-minute long tumbling sections certainly makes me thankful for group tumbling...

Tumble-2-3-4-tumble-6-7-8-tumble-2-3-4-shimmy-6-7-8-tumble-2-3-4-slash-6-7-8-tumble-2-3-4-wait for crash n burn teammate to get up and move-6-7-8

All I think of is 08's worlds.

If I scroll back far enough in my FB photos, I can find a pic. Stay tuned...

ETA: Didn't take long.

This picture just about sums up old cheer. Not my image.

You know you're old when you were in college and cheer looked like this....

I had no idea the UK run had been around for that long!

Also those 4 level pyramids still freak me out. I'm trying not to think about how many people got injured when they would learn it. Thanks for posting this!

This got me thinking about a prop I saw a few years ago in an all-star routine. They were giant hula hoop-sized signs with stretchy fabric panels that tumblers jumped through. Haven’t seen them since. Does anyone know who did this or how those were made?

Also, I know that wearable signs were a thing awhile back (basically giant stretchy bags that a flyer throws on mid-routine and runs around in). I’m sure it’s a safety violation to use those now but does anyone know of a team that used those props effectively? Google looks at me like it doesn’t know what I’m talking about every time I search.

Yep, the 1st 2 or 3 years they had these instead of rings.

I hate that 2010 is now old enough that most kids cheering have never seen this, but the conjoined BHS Top Gun's i5 did in 2010 is still one of my favorite stunts of all time. I don't even know if this would score well in level 2 anymore, but back in the day when I saw those tiny coed flyers do a conjoined BHS with the huge partner stunt boys I was GAGGED girl. I must have watched those 5 seconds a million times back then.
