Cheer Pet Peeves?

[kaylalalaxo]

What are some of your cheer pet peeves?
Here are mine...

-When flyers aren't felxible enough to hold the bottom of their foot on a heelstretch, but instead hold their ankle.
-Jumps that have flexed feet and land their legs a mile wide apart.
-Slow tumblers.
-Walking into a competition arena and teams are walking around in their spankys and sports bra.
-Slow award ceremonies.
-Sloppy hair and makeup looks like its been thrown on at the last second.
-When flyers stick their elbows out on full downs/double downs.
-Bad and slow music.
-Not being ready (hair down, makeup not on, uniform off) when you get to the arena.
-Cowboyed out back tucks.
-Girls walking around with their uniform unzipped and skirts unbuttoned after the routine.
-Inconsiderate teams that walk infront of you in the middle of watching someones routine.
-Teams that take forever to get off the warm up mat.


Anyone else have pet peeves that are cheer related? :)

i hate when people call backhandsprings flip flops...or people say two and a whip double instead of two to whip double

-Feet apart in backhandsprings
-Feet apart in smushes
-Feet apart in supposed-to-be cupies.
-Sloppy motions
-Non-flexible scorps/scales. It sticks out a lot.

I think this pretty much summed up all of my pet peeves....

- when someone blames a stunt falling on one person and clearly it's their own/the whole group's fault.
- when people do their hair differently than everyone else (because we had a certain hair for each team for comps) and stick out.
- people who think they can keep their piercings in for practice and/or comps.

My biggest pet peeve is when I see a talented team look a hot mess on the mat because of bad coaching! I always feel so sorry for the athletes!

I have to agree with the seat savers....drives me nuts.

 

[rcc104]

when flyers give up
when bases give up
when bases or flyer isnt focuses and goofs off - while in a mount!
when people are cocky and think they're better than everyone else
when people frog leg down from a jump
and i agree with you on the cowboyed out tucks

Pyramids in which the center flyer just stands there and do nothing.
