All-Star "traveling" Jump Sections

[worldchampME]

I remember working with these kiddos with Ray Jasper, and we thought we were just the coolest for doing the traveling jump section haha

And maybe a lot of programs are starting to do it with the added emphasis on scoring for jumps these days.

Love watching this, brings back memories. My daughter is on this team!

Sorry for the double post, but I've been told moving/ turning in jumps plays into "variety" under jumps- making it required to score in the high range.

Depends on the score sheet. And rotating doesn't need to be full circle. Going back and forth from corner to corner would be similar.

At the end of the day, judges don't want to see you face front and do all of your jumps without moving.

Once we had a jump choreo where the front row did a half turn while jumping their toe touch.
It was too busy to really look good, but if a whole team could execute this good, it looks great.
This year we have only a corner - front - corner turn in the jump sequence and i´m sweating to get this synch ;)

I miss old school jump sections. I'd rather them make a comeback.
Traveling jumps look great when they're done perfectly aka twist and shout obsession

Agreed. We will rotate our jumps as usual from corner to corner but I won't be trying to move jumps across the floor unless everyone on the team can execute them flawlessly. And that's enough of a task for an elite level team as it is.

I did have a pretty bad a$$ youth 2 a couple years ago that turned from facing back to facing front during their jumps but looking back now it just made their really phenomenal jumps look average.

Yeah I agree T&S is the only team giving me life this season with the "traveling jumps" :D

The fact that things like this are becoming necessary makes me kinda upset. There was nothing better in cheerleading than a good ol' Spirit Of Texas triple toe back. then hurdle, pike combo.

Nothing is ever necessary.

I'll say this... I can count the number of gyms on my two (probably 1) hand that have great jumping technique/ timing in one single facing direction. This does not equal the teams I've seen attempt turning jump sequences. Do you see my issue?

:wham:

I think it's ironic (and hilarious actually) that even with the socially cued "hit hit hit hit [push/pull]", gyms still can't get things like timing down. :confused: People always try so hard to push difficulty when the end TECHNIQUE is actually the most "difficult" piece of the score sheet.
