maddie is/was literally one of the best flyers in cheee history. her stunt really changed all star cheer, no other team has ever done it. maddie was very poised and technical when it came to flying. same with Gabie dinsbeer, Amber craft, Erica, Cea has breeder some amazing athletes. I don't understand why they get bashed
@kirstene91318 жыл бұрын
they get bashed because many of the coaches and athletes have done trashy things and the overall way the gym is run is pretty shitty. I give props to senior elite for the ball up 360 for its time. the stunt now has been done by level 4 teams and honestly it wouldn't score well for a level 5 team lol

+Kirsten E Maddie has never been trashy. Maddie is graduating near or at the top of her J-School class at UNC and is getting job offers for June in broadcast. She never participated in social media while cheering all star, and has done everything the correct way. She represented Chasse at their request and has now finished that commitment. Look for her TV career to begin somewhere in NC, SC or Ga. There are trashy people in all organizations and careers. She is not one of them. She appreciates all the kind words from her fans and to all of you that gave her so much grief, yeah, you made her stronger. The producer of this piece told us that she originally was going to tell the story ofAll Star using 2 teams going to worlds but it was too much with so many athletes and their point of views in 12 minutes. So she chose Maddie to tell the world about All Star by having her represent the athlete's pov. So even here, all the criticism of it being about her is off base. It was always about telling the viewer about All Star through the eyes of one cheerleader. She had NO input or influence on how this was put together and edited. All CNN, and an effective literary and journalistic technique. Best wishes to you all.

Bases definitely don't get enough recognition. Absolutely no recognition for the people who got her up into those stunts. What a shame. It's always "Maddie's stunt". It's about teamwork, not one person.

Quit comparing dance to cheerleading. I do allstar cheerleading AND I'm principle dancer with a dance company. Both are hard in their own ways. While I can say that cheer is more athletic while dance is more artistic (with some athletic ability too), both are challenging and hard work to excel.

I think for all of the cheerleaders/cheer parents/coaches out there who watched this and are now critcizing this piece should be ashamed. When a very prominent news channel is doing a piece on this SPORT then why are we aruging over how much they focused on Maddie? They are trying to show the average viewer who knows nothing about cheerleading, only the negative stereotypes, that we do work hard and do deserve respect. They only had 15 minutes to inform people about what we do and it works...
@SpraynPrayQueenx12 жыл бұрын
If you look closely at the stunt when she does the tick tock up from the ball up her leg goes is on a slight diagonal so I think that's why the bases struggled to keep it up but she is still an amazing person :) I mean it just goes to show that this year they didn't have the ball up and got world champs :) love senior elite :)

No, cheerleaders don't have to worry about pulling up like that, but they do have to worry about pulling their knee's in tight enough for their tuck, but not too close or they knee themselves in the face. Many places DON'T have sprung floors until closer to competition, so yes, we do tumble on hard floors.

I see some 'No, cheer/dance is harder' fights going on. If you're talking about whether dance or high school cheerleading is harder, it's dance, without a doubt. However, I am in both All star cheerleading, and competitive dance. I have to say that, yes, all star cheerleading is a LOT harder then dance, emotionally and physically. Dance, even group dance, does not demand HALF the trust that you have to have for your team in all star cheerleading. It's just much harder.
