well if you think about it, level 5 cheerleaders that cross down to lower levels doesnt really mean anything, b/c if they go down to a level 3 team they can only do level 3 techniques. Its not like they are throwing standing fulls or anything. they have to do the same techniques as anyone else, and its not like they are better than anyone on the lower level because they are all doing the same thing, IMO dont get me wrong i use to think the same way until i came to realize that they are doing the same techniques as everyone else on the team. IMO just saying !
I think it's totally different for a Level 5 athlete to throw a BHS than a Level 2. The Level 2 athlete is still just learning and perfecting it. The Level 5 athlete can do it in their sleep, and probably do all the lower level tumbling and stunting PERFECTLY. I think you're Level 5, right? I'd be willing to bet your BHS and back tuck are a LOT more fierce than my daughter's--who is just learning them. So the team with the Level 5 crossover has a definite advantage over the team with all Level 2 athletes. I don't know if I'm explaining it right...am I making sense? :confused:
But if they have to have a crossover or 2, I get it. Just don't get all high and mighty when you win when you compete at a level 2-3 levels lower than your skill set. (collective "you", not "you" personally!)
