All-Star Skills Wiki

Thoughts about setting up a skills wiki with videos and descriptions for all?

Yes!!! :cheering:

Should it be a separate site so its a bit more official? Organized by level and talks about tumbling jumps baskets and stunting? Include drills and what not with videos?

I think that would be great. I sometime have questions about drills & conditioning for certain skills/body parts, and tho I do love fortheloveoftumbling.com, it would be nice to get other's opinions and vids in a single place

Definitely! I love learning different skills to help me with my tumbling/stunts and whatever! Could be very helpful and save alot of time searching for it.

Hrmmm now to figure out how to do it. And figure out the people who are the right ones to ask to fill up skills.

as a parent it's an awesome idea to at least show/demonstrate the skill. start with that and depending on how it goes drills could be the next step.

Thinking separate site would work best. Guessing regardless of where being hosted you will get traffic from the boarders but if on a separate site you stand a chance of more traffic from 'outsiders' using a search engine looking for skills and allow you to promote other sites such as USASF, IASF, Fierce Boards or Cheer Parents Online.

I think this would be great, also to include some blurry areas in legalities (I know a lot of confusion surrounded inversions in level 4 stunting recently)

I love this idea Kingston. I think this is the best one yet!

 

[cheer_coach_d]

GREAT idea! Especially if you can include those gray areas- awesome!!

I have wanted this for such a long time! I think it will be really helpful especially to new parents to understand what a "barrel role pop sponge show and go tap stretch" is. I think the best way to get the videos is to post a list and an email. Have people send in what they've got and when you have a vid of what you need, take it off the list. That way you don't have to waste a ton of time getting a group together and filming every stunt, jump, and trick ever done.

It would be an excellent addition, something I think many people all over could benefit from. Start with basic skills/descriptions for each level then move to gray area stuff then add drills/conditioning (or do drills/conditioning for basic stuff THEN go to gray area skills). Have the videos be CLEAR, well done and give alternate names for each. Maybe eventually show different combos for each level (different combo passes in tumbling, different stunt sequences).

Maybe to make it easier to begin with, compile a list of minimum skill requirements for each level and make a master list. Post somewhere on the boards and color the text red when you have the skill?

Working on how to implement the idea. You figure there is tumbling experts like Debbie Love there must be a way to catalog and easily organize her knowledge and make it free for everyone!

You could start with instructional videos like this!
Great idea, King (:

And PLEASE do not put any background music in the videos, because here in Germany (and I think in other countries,too) tons of videos are blocked because of music in them (youtube is in a legal argument about fees for the music....).

Otherwise: GREAT idea!
