I think the main difference between gymnastics and cheerleading, is when gymnasts are out there, its you and ONLY you on the floor. No gymnasts would feel comfortable with 35 other people out there with them. So until you can rely on atleast 30 other people out there with you, tumbling less than 3 feet away with you, throwing you in the air, and dancing ur heart out for a full 2mins and 30 seconds, don't critique things as small as "laying out". ;)
i think the reason why cheerleading rules limit level 5 tumbling skills to doubles/kick doubles is for safety purposes because it's a TEAM effort. in gymnastics its different because you can do as much as 4 or even more if you're doing floor exercise..and besides you can't see gymnasts do round-off fulls/doubles at each other at competition! so why compare these types of sport? they may have something in common but they also have a lot of differences
yea, definitely nto fun, i've seen it in action. and theres a difference between doing your best and antagonizing over the impossibility of perfection. but to each his own =] but back to the video...
look guys. stop comparing. i'm sure gymnasts can't be in a basket and do the stuff level 5 teams do, or one leg, or jump connecting to fulls or back tucks. and cheerleaders can't do the things they do on beam, bars, or vault. they're both DIFFERENT sports, otherwise they'd be called the same thing. seriously. get over yourselves.
see i would rather run towards a steel vault than an actual person anyday. and maybe its just my opinnion but it hurts way more to be dropped on your butt from the air than to split a beam. but good thing you finally get it =]. and for the record, i never said anything bad about gymnasts. i definitely think its a tough sport as it is. its just that "laying out" and perfect tumbling isn't the main thing cheerleaders worry about.
@cheerismylife1997 I was a level 4 male gymnast like 5 years ago....now i cheer and cheer is just as difficult and time consuming...neither are sports...their lifestyles
whoashaelaa im a cheerleader my self thast kinda offensive beacuse some cheerleaders are all full of them sleves nd all talk ....nd i would say thoses ting about these videos because our team does level 6 stunts so if u wanna say stuff then make sure your right
@BrieLarsonfan123 "Each sport has it's own dangers obviously, however, I've never really heard about too many cheerleaders dying from their injuries." From recent studies Cheerleading is the most dangerous woman's sport right now. Check your facts. Also, you punctuated however wrong. So, check your grammar as well.
