All-Star Cool Stunt Picture

I would imagine that they're probably all, or at least mostly all capable. But for the sake of a photo, I would imagine that it was assisted or someone put their hands on it at the top to stabilize and then stepped away. No need to waste all of that energy, especially if it requires multiple takes.

Although one set of partners at a time is probably much easier than, say, the whole team at the beach in Daytona, but what do I know...

What university is this anyway?

Oregon Ducks

Oregon, and I can assure you that most of these girls can do this unassisted, on their own. Their training schedule is just as intense as that of a football team. They're in the weight room a lot. BUT saying that someone assisted some of the girls and then stepped out, isnt completely out of the question.

I've been thinking about going to Oregon for the past 2 or 3 years now, this makes me want to go even more. Go Ducks!

What amazes me is that even the flyers are super muscular and fit!
Good for Oregon!

Check out the thighs on each and every one of them. Not in a bad way, their leg muscles are massive and you can tell they work out A LOT. These girls are the poster chicks for "Cheerleaders are Athletes".

thats freakin legit!! I would really like to know if thats photoshopped at all, and how they got to hands/extension. Assited or unassited

Looking at the background and shadows I would say this picture is NOT photo shopped. It would be safe to say that a coach and spotters assist them to get into place. I have set up similar shots on the beach with UofL.This team is the national champs so I would not be surprised if they are all capable.

why would they go out of there way to have it Photoshopped though?

You photoshop not just to fake an image but also for clarity and aesthetics.

You can easily photoshop those shadows, especially if you know how you want the final picture to look before hand. I've photoshopped myself into a family picture and if you didn't know you wouldn't be able to tell.

Ah this picture is amazing!

Completely unassisted on the way up?

Not assisted and not photoshopped stunt wise. Photoshop was used to enhance photograph NOT to lie to people about the ability of the athletes.

This is what our sport looks like when you have an athletic department like the powerhouse University of Oregon.

This is what technique can do for our sport.

Someone should post this in the new score sheet thread. You DON'T need to be a meat head guy to lift someone above your head.
