A brand new gymnastics and cheerleading product offered by American Gymnast, the Flip Machine is an air-filled unit providing super-fast spring for gymnasts and cheerleaders learning leaps and flipping skills. This video gives a great overview of how the product can be used. It’s great for learning back tucks, front tucks, straddle jumps and a variety of other gymnastics and cheerleading skills.
An excellent special event to add to your annual calendar.
You need good coaches, though. That are able to spot beginners. Especially older Cheer tumblers.
CGA’s Back Handspring Clinic is open to all Superoo’s and Level 1 – 3 students. This is an excellent opportunity to develop strength and technique to successfully complete the “Back Handspring!â€

… The Cheerleading Worlds has grown to be so large that it needs to be held at two seperate arenas. Disneys Wild World of Sports’ Milkhouse arena and Disney’s Hollywood studios . The Dance Worlds is held in Disney’s famous Epcot.
…
The Milkhouse and Jostens Center at the Wide World of Sports. The Worlds Showplace at Epcot.
Good luck to the team that trains out of my gym, The Pythons. The first Alberta team ever to be invited to this prestigious event.
Brittany Crowe competed Artistic until age-18. On graduating High School, she decided to join Cheer. That was last September. Eight months later Brit’s going to Worlds.
We gave her pom-poms as a send off gift. (Cheerleaders HATE pom-poms.)
Looks lame. Most of the good laughs are in the promo reel, I suspect.
The only review I’ve seen concurs:
… it’s about a pair of high school football players (played by 31-year-old Eric Christian Olsen and 28-year-old Nicholas D’Agosto) who opt out on their team training in order to tag along with the all-female cheerleading squad to their cheer camp/competition.
… I’m pretty certain that we’re looking at a PG-13 here (yes, they can say ’s–t’ all they want with that rating). Heck, if it were actually R, then this film’s audience would have to ask a parent or legal guardian to come with, and that’s just cruel to consider.
Either way, Fired Up drops down on March 20, 2009. To quote one of the sassy cheerleader foes: B. F. D.

A Sport TV reporter just mentioned 6 Cheer deaths in the USA since 1982.
Is that true?
I would not be surprised.
… A recent study found that cheerleading injuries more than doubled between 1990 and 2002. Over that period, 200,000 youthful cheerleaders had to be treated in hospital. Most were minor cases, but more than 50 involved “catastrophic injury”. …
