This video came up on my Tumblr, and I gotta say, this shocked me into silence. I am speechless.
Thoughts?

I'd like to know too. I've caught some flipping baskets really hard on my chest (I'm a back) from flyers not opening up and slowing their flip after they complete it. And catching a basket hard is much more likely than a flyer being not caught at all.I'd like to know the force of impact from a hard basket catch and also incomplete twisting baskets. I know I've been knocked around a fair bit learning kick dub baskets without even touching the spring floor.
1. I would hope that these kinds of stunts aren't the normal set in HS and JH cheer.Ok - so a couple of thoughts.
1 - THIS is why my CP will not be doing JH or HS cheer. I'd like to see what this would look like on a spring floor.
2 - I can't imagine bases not trying to catch the girl and at least breaking her fall a little to cause the force to be less.
3 - But we're still not a sport huh???
This comment is probably going to come off rather rude, but why pick UC Irvines cheer team? If they wanted a team in the LA area why not go for Glendale? I don't mean to hate on them, but they're not the best representation of collegiate cheerleading. Plus I can't stand bad toe-touch baskets and the slow-mo really highlights it... And the uniforms? Really?

Oh, what a bummer. It's so sad when programs start to fade...Because at one point (before Glendale), we WERE a good representation of collegiate sideline cheer. Without getting into details, that year was the begining of the end of a solid, non-competitive program. I'm not on the team in the video...I jumped ship for Lv. 6 that year because I wanted to compete.
And those aren't our uniforms. I think there is a licensing issue with UC logos. We had to cover the UCI on the set of Bring it On.
I don't think that was the point of the video. I really think it was an attempt to see how much force would be inflicted if the bases missed catching the flier.Somehow I am not surprised at all by these findings. It's such a bummer that bases are selfish enough to be scared of catching their flyer or the flyer is scared of a skill and doesn't complete it causing these injuries.

And yeah, I figured that the uniforms weren't their actual uniforms, but they (the producers or whoever was in charge of wardrobe) couldn't have put in a little more effort? I'd rather see some black shorts and a shirt over those things.
