Cheerleaders Share Their Cheer Horror Stories

I think that actually became illegal in competitions. His chin had like a mark from one of my supports. I didn't even like the guy, so I don't understand why she was so angry and hated me so much. Hi, I'm Spencer. I was a

cheer

leader for about three years in high school. Hello, I'm Vanessa. I have been a

cheer

leader for ten years in Rhode Island, at the University of Rhode Island and at my high school. Hello, my name is Laura and I was an entertainer for three years. In high school, when I was a high school cheerleader, we had a practice where you practiced for a competition.

We were practicing a very difficult pyramid which is multiple stunts, working together to do one thing. My coach liked to try things that were. a little more difficult because then we would get more points. My best friend MT was in the middle, she was a very good flyer, so she's the one who, you know, launches herself into the air and is at the top of the stunts. I remember there were two Flyers on each side holding MT, there was a part where we had to like the swinger and when she went to swing, I don't remember that she kicked my friend Courtney in the face or if her hip It hit her in the face, but we practiced the pyramid, we went through it to the end, everyone went to

spaces after the pyramid to continue the routine and Courtney went to the side or the front, she didn't really make any noise, I think.

I heard like a moan, but I didn't really think anything of it because

hurt, suddenly everyone was looking at Courtney when the fires had swung. She hit Courtney in the mouth, but Courtney's teeth went from like that to like it. This they were still there, they were fine, she went to the dentist, they put braces back on them and it was only temporary, but that was the scariest thing because I think it was the most pain anyone had ever suffered up to that point. We all knew what to do and even my trainer said, "I didn't know teeth could move from here to here without being knocked out." That was, oh yeah, that was really bad, so when I was Chili D in high school.

I had this friend she was like my best friend well she liked a boy the boy liked me and she was mad she thought maybe she could change her mind her idea of ​​doing that was to get a perm and darken her hair because she had light brown hair on her head thought I would try to be more like Vanessa, it didn't work, he didn't like her, she was still on my cheer team, she was my bass and one day we were practicing and I fell and broke my wrist, it hurt so much I was out all year and at first I was kind of upset, but at the same time I was like, "Oh, this happens, this is part of cheerleading, but when I found out it could have been deliberate, it was like that." A completely different story, she bragged about it and told everyone.

I left Vanessa's purpose because she is one. I didn't even like the guy, so I told him I don't like him. He's all yours, so I really don't understand why. She was still angry and hated me so much so I approached her and she said no but I didn't trust her after that and to this day I don't really know if it was intentional or not so my first year encouraging her. It was my second year in high school and we were at a cheerleading camp that happens the summer before, where you learn all the new things for the school year.

We were doing a kind of team building exercise at these camps that they always do. as an icebreaker, so the company that ran our campus called the UCA and you see a cheerleader who was with our group said: I need a volunteer, so I raised my hand thinking that you would know that we are going to do something fun, who knows, and she told me She says I'm going to have to put all of my teammates' socks on my hands and then continue putting each girl's socks on top like gloves and do some kind of relay, it was hot, we were in a hot place.

At the gym everyone has been working out, they have been stunted so all the socks were sweaty, it smelled so disgusting, luckily they let me wash my hands afterwards but it was quite traumatizing and I honestly don't know why I agreed do it. We had practice. Like we always did, I think this time we were just practicing stunts to see what worked. We were trying out new flyers so there was a new girl who would be on top of the stunts and I think we were practicing how they would do it. When coming down from the stunts, there's either one: you throw them up and they spin once and then come back down or there's a double use, you throw them up and they're supposed to like to spin quickly twice and then go back down.

I think that actually became illegal in later competitions because people get hurt. I think we were practicing a double with this new wheel. It's important to note that before practice I told my friend Michaela that she had a perfect nose. She was thrown this new steering wheel and she went to spin. she came down very well, but when she came down she threw her head back and my friend Michaela was the back spot for that trick, the fire came down and hit my friend Michaela in the nose. All we saw was Michaela going like that and very calmly. leaving where we were practicing and going to the bathroom, yeah, I mean, she broke her nose, there was so much blood, she was very calm because of the amount of blood, like she was eerily calm, but I guess she didn't know what else to do. do it like I mean a week or so after that, her nose got bigger like every other day.

She blames me for wasting the day because I told her she had the perfect nose. I was in college and we performed every halftime at the basketball game. and I was always in front because she was a gymnast and a dancer and we had this new routine. I did a lot of choreography. There was actually a guy there that I really liked and he was so excited that we were in the middle. of our team and there was a group of girls right in front. I knew them, they were on the hip-hop team and it seemed like they were whispering about me, but I tried not to care because I was doing my thing.

The person I like is here, so I said: I'm going to keep dancing. Turns out I turned around and bent over for the next part of the dance and noticed that my boob was out the whole time. I don't have breasts, that's why I did it. No sorry, I just thought everyone was watching my amazing dance moves, but yeah, that wasn't the case at all. I was just showing everyone at the beginning of my college career and for years people were talking about it, so we were learning how to do it. to do stunts and we were on a half-length lift where two girls were standing face to face as a base and holding the Flyers' feet at about neck level, so we were learning how to get off that into a cradle, which is where you throw the shuttlecock up and then both bases catch on the arms so when this is done correctly you're pretty close you throw the girl up and catch her she comes down but if you're new and a little scared like us , we were too. very far apart when we threw her and when her body weight came down she moved us both forward and we had like a kiss of death and my teeth, which was in braces at the time, and her chin collided, we hit each other and then it was like everyone backed away because everyone saw what happened so I'm covering my mouth because it really hurt and she's covering her mouth area. that my teeth were all bloody and then her chin had like a mark from one of my braces probably for a few days after that we were afraid to do that trick.

I think that base and I weren't a good match, so we didn't do that trick. together again
