All-Star Senior Level 6

[GreatWhite92]

I once witnessed a junior team attempt a 2-2-1 pyramid at Reach the Beach back in 2002. Needless to say, it did not go well on either day. :eek:

I definitely didn't think the routine was bad. At all. Just...the energy... And what cheer used to be back then. Haha

Respect your elders haha, we made cheer what it is today, we had to go through the music we cut with two cassette decks to give you the music you have today lol! I know what you mean though , its funny to watch the older routines now!:p

I always thought level six was easier than level five.

Level 6 is kind of weird because it's not really a step up from level 5. The level 6 skills most level 6 teams do at most smaller nationals is probably easier than level 5. A back tuck toss is a million times easier than a kick-double, and front flipping out of a prep is easier than doubling down, for example. But the hardest level 6 skills, baskets, pyramids, etc. are definitely harder than level 5.

the amount of teams i saw at cheer evolution nationals and provincials that should stay level 3/4 at the highest that were level 6 in canada scares the absolute heck out of me drops bobbles busts under rotated full and double downs 221 pyramids that should stay ON the ground is simply terrifying

I completely agree! Some of the scariest stuff I've ever seen happened at Nationals :P
Wait... does this mean you were at Nationals this year and I didn't meet you?

I'm going to disagree. Teaching a kick double/double down is more technical, but unassisted flipping at any time requires technique AND confidence. Once someone has completed a back tuck basket CORRECTLY then I see the perception of it being easier but doing it CORRECT isn't easy. Also, a kick double/double down that "goes wrong" is NO WHERE NEAR as dangerous as a back tuck basket or front flip dismount that "goes wrong".

Fair point, I guess. The first time I did a tuck toss was easy, the second time I did it I stopped flipping upside down. Fortunately I had four boys who caught me like that.

I'll never be able to do a kick-anything basket. I just can't get the hang of it, and we never did those in high school.

oh i miss those days!!

no.

 

[alexamarysouza]

In my mind I see more and more injuries, thus more and more input from USASF...yeah, not such a great idea when there's l5 teams that should really be lower, because lord knows those will be some of the first teams to do it.

Maybe tumbling wise. Stunts wise....absolutely not. I'm sorry - but even my beloved F5's stunts are nothing compared to Bangkok's.

Baskets maybe stunts I dont see that much of a difference, just braced inversions go unbraced.
