You may be right about it being dangerous big seriously, what crazy stuff did you do as a kid you wouldn't do now or allow your kids to do?I can definitely see the "baby flyer" trend making the news any day now.... I don't care whether or not you're a cheer coach or not, it's just not safe.
1) Remember when cars had those handle things above each window? I used to sit in the backseat, grab those and do backflips.You may be right about it being dangerous big seriously, what crazy stuff did you do as a kid you wouldn't do now or allow your kids to do?

When my sister was still in a carseat she opened the car door as we were merging onto the interstate :D1) Remember when cars had those handle things above each window? I used to sit in the backseat, grab those and do backflips.
2) Slid headfirst down carpeted stairs (rug burn... ouch)
3) Held onto doors by their knobs and swung on them as they closed.
4) Tried to teach tumbling to other kids at the age of 10 (there's a funny story behind that...).
5) Opened a car door while my mom was driving (it was on the road, not the highway).
Yup, I was a total daredevil. :p
But I could never let someone base me. Even as a little kid, I hated when my (very tall) male relatives would try to sit me on their shoulders. Being that high in the air on what felt to me like an unstable surface terrified me.
A friends older brother had a door open up as he was turning and his grandma went tumbling out

I believe she's not labeled as a "cheerlebrity", but definitely noteworthy and one of my favourites - McKenzie Rutan from Stingray Allstars Orange.
To me, she's an often under looked member from the Stingrays program partly because of Angel Rice. McKenzie is almost always last pass for a reason, her tumbling form and technique is exquisite; I'd take a tumbling clinic led by her any day. Also, how many of these so called "cheerlebrities" can you say is a 5x world champion like she is?
On a side note, I wish McKenzie all the best with Electric Rays as she continues her glowing legacy with the Stingrays program.
