What people post all over facebook they came in 1st place when they had no one competing against them.

"Yeah.. our team is so good we are getting some guys from F5!"
Like... if your team was good u would know that there arent any guys on F5!

When Kids on a Level 2 team do like roundoff then 7 handsprings... like I think 2 is all we need to see!

Having multiple lingo for similar stunts such as Cupie or Awesome or Platform...when stunting with a new flyer and you call out a stunt mid air and they have no idea until you go down the list.

When flyers bail.
When girls say there "sooo flexible' when this is there scorp:

Level 5 girls thinking they own the gym.

When EP's don't really update their websites and don't post schedules or results!!

Flyers yelling at their bases. I can't stand that.

 

[GlitterPlz]

When EP's don't announce scores-only places. I am neurotic by nature and I need to know how much we won/lost by.

When cheer comps start running behind...at 9:30 in the morning.

one thing i hate is when a stunt falls and you see the girls or guys yelling at each other. Instead they should be fighting for the stunt. Another thing is when if something falls or doesn't go and then the energy and enthusiasm level totally drops. thats how you lose more points.

During competition - when something goes wrong (dropped stunt, tumble bust, etc.) I hate seeing that athlete(s) wear a scowl the rest of the routine.

At practice - full out should = same as competition (smiles, facials, actually performing) not a three-quarter effort with music.

Or at 9:30 at night when the drive is 2 and a half hours haha

As long as bases yelling at their fliers. The group should respect each other because each part is important and the stunt wouldn't go without each other.

Oh I agree! But one memory that really sticks in my head is when I was in warmups in nationals two years ago and, I won't name any names, but I watched and heard (along with the rest of the warmup room) a flyer basically verbally abuse her bases. It looked really bad. I just never like to see someone disrespect someone like that!

If I was a flyer, I would be too afraid if I made my bases mad that they would drop me. I know it's unrealistic, but I would be all sugar and spice and everything nice to them! Anything to avoid angering them... I wouldn't put my life in the hands of someone who hates me!
